Baka Dasai Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 Bike guru <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0960723668/104-2655885-4831114?v=glance">Jobst Brandt</a> claims that <a href="http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=dRSD9.50531%24Ik.1336401%40typhoon.sonic.net&oe=UTF-8&output=gplain">the most you can get a bicycle to lean before it loses traction is about 45 degrees</a>. Here's a picture of Jobst cornering with a lean angle of around 45 deg (close to the limit of traction). <img src="http://www-math.science.unitn.it/Bike/Countries/Europe/Tour_Reports/Tour_of_the_Alps_Gallery/tiretest.jpg"> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobdea Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 it might depend on your tires on a tire that is puffed out to the sides you could possibly get pretty low that picture has gotta be a fake though I do remember being able to scape my pedal that was up(might be imagining it though these childhood memories sometimes get inflated) and ripping turns on my bikes maybe this is where I got the crave to carve damn that was like 1990 when I was ten it seems like yesterday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
