In terms of mountain bikes.
weight distribution, primarily, but also reach.
seat tipped down for climbing, tipped up for downhill 😉
ah, you mean seat angle, not seat tube angle.
tilted back = testicles smashed on nose of saddle as you slide forward when the bike hits an obstacle
tilted forward = testicles smashed on top tube as you slide off saddle.
flat = about right.
tilted back = not for sitting on 😉
flat = mincer
tilted forward = wrong
I actually meant seat tube angle.
In terms of weight distribution is the seat tube angle only concerned with getting a stable sitting position or is there more to it?
Take a kona operator, its steep but a commencal supreme is about 7 degrees slacker. Is that a function of the suspension design or are the designers trying to achieve something else.
seat tube angle is fairly irrelevant for most DH bikes..
