everyone talks about how loww bottom brackets make a downhill bike more stable and corner better. Just wondering which downhill bike out there has the lowest BB and potentially corners the best?

I find my Turner's bb to a be sometimes too low and when hitting corners that may a root somewhere my pedals hit it and i get fucked over, not cool. IMHO depends on personal preference, somewhere in the middle is right for me, turner is there but does the old obstacle clippage time to time.Red Rocket said:Eh, what can I say, I'm on a bit of a whoring session tonight. Even this post is whored. Maybe I should add something constructive to this post.
I think that BB height is purely subjective really. Some people like transcendal BB's that sit as high as the Almighty one, whereas others like them nice and low. Some people may find for some reason or another that they corner best on a bike with a high bb (though I can't imagine why). In short, a really low bb isn't necessarily going to be conducive to a bike that rails it, as that is dependant on many other variables.
