| Jul 9, 2014 at 16:14 | comment | added | Emyr | I wasn't making that assumption ;-) I was comparing them with drop bars held in the curve. A correctly sized low-pro frame fitted with bullhorns has the same contact point relationship as a correctly sized track frame with drops. The difference is that with drops the vector of the force through the hands is far closer to the plane through the hands and the stem clamp. | |
