but do you think less neg.trail would be an advantage?
NT is both blessing and curse of the python design.
The self centering effect stabilizes the bike at low and moderate
speed. When driving fast, NT also stabilizes more than PT
(FWD bikes only).
Once I had a casual race with a ZOX20low (FWD and PT) and a
friend of mine riding behind me and my competitor said that the
ZOX was moving in a wiggly line while the python went straight.
The curse of NT is the decreasing stability when coasting high
speed downhill. 60 kph is kind of a limit for this.
As a compromise, keeping the NT low seems ok for me, but we
need more experience with this.
you would really have to sit to the front to get the pivot close to
your hips. as an experienced pythonrider, do you think that is possible?
No problem as long as you have a front fender in between ;-)
also the weight is distributed more to the frontwheel,
would that be a problem?
Not really: traction is increased and the point of making a header
when braking hard has not yet been reached.
Cheers,
Jürgen.
