Reach is the horizontal distance from the centre of the bottom bracket to the middle of the head tube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These measurements will help you determine if the bike will put you into a racer&#8217;s position with a long reach and short stack (aggressive), or one which will be comfortable for long, all-day rides (endurance\/relaxed) thanks to a short reach and high stack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, a racey Specialized S-Works Tarmac\u00a0in a size 54 has a stack of 534mm and a reach of 387mm. Comparatively, the endurance ready S-Works Roubaix\u00a0in the same size has a stack of 585mm and reach of 375mm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once a standard fork length was 370mm and you could compare head tube lengths, now more bikes have different fork lengths. A gravel bike or endurance bike that\u2019s got disc brakes and more tyre clearance will have a longer fork to cater for that, so the head tube is going to become shorter but it doesn&#8217;t increase the drop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">FORK OFFSET, TRAIL AND HEAD ANGLE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"399\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/sout\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2022\/01\/640px-Bike_dimensions.svg_.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-215\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/sout\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2022\/01\/640px-Bike_dimensions.svg_.png 640w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/sout\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2022\/01\/640px-Bike_dimensions.svg_-300x187.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Fork offset (sometimes called rake), trail and head angle are intrinsically intertwined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Offset\/rake is how far the front axle (hub) is offset from the steering axis. Trail is the distance between the tyre&#8217;s contact patch with the ground and where the head angle line hits the floor. Head angle is the angle at which a line would travel through from the head tube to the steering axis, to hit the floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to racey handling, expect a fork trail of 55 to 59mm and a steep head angle of 72.5-73\u00ba. An endurance bike will have a fork trail of over 60mm and a slack head angle, closer to 71.5\u00ba. The differences are seemingly minute, but will show themselves in the ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The only exception to this is on very small bikes, where the trail sometimes has to be increased to prevent toe overlap. This is clear within the Specialized Venge charts where a size 49 has a trail of 63mm and a 52 cuts it down to 58mm, down to 52mm on a size 61cm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">Want to view our range of Road Bikes?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.southdownsbikes.com\/bikes\/road-bikes\/instock\">Click here<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">SEAT TUBE ANGLE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1014\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/sout\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2022\/01\/specialized_tarmac_sl7_review_1_0-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-216\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/sout\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2022\/01\/specialized_tarmac_sl7_review_1_0-2.jpg 1014w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/sout\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2022\/01\/specialized_tarmac_sl7_review_1_0-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/sout\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2022\/01\/specialized_tarmac_sl7_review_1_0-2-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/sout\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2022\/01\/specialized_tarmac_sl7_review_1_0-2-270x180.jpg 270w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/sout\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2022\/01\/specialized_tarmac_sl7_review_1_0-2-370x245.jpg 370w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1014px) 100vw, 1014px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Seat tube angle is simply the angle at which the seat tube sits, and it will have implications on set up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the angle is too slack, on larger bikes the seat tube will extend too far backwards. So if you&#8217;re a tall rider, it&#8217;s worth bearing this in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seat tube angle will affect where you&#8217;re going to position the saddle. It&#8217;s one of those standards that&#8217;s never really changed, if you look at a small bike it will have quite a steep seat tube angle, 74-74.5\u00ba degrees. As the bike gets bigger that seat tube angle tends to get slacker, even down to as much as 72.5\u00ba or 72\u00ba degrees on the biggest bikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">WHEELBASE AND BOTTOM BRACKET DROP<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"964\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/sout\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2022\/01\/74920-04_TARMAC-SL7-SW-FRMSET-DSTBLU-CSTBLUMET_HERO-1024x964.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-217\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/sout\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2022\/01\/74920-04_TARMAC-SL7-SW-FRMSET-DSTBLU-CSTBLUMET_HERO-1024x964.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/sout\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2022\/01\/74920-04_TARMAC-SL7-SW-FRMSET-DSTBLU-CSTBLUMET_HERO-300x283.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/sout\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2022\/01\/74920-04_TARMAC-SL7-SW-FRMSET-DSTBLU-CSTBLUMET_HERO-768x723.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/sout\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2022\/01\/74920-04_TARMAC-SL7-SW-FRMSET-DSTBLU-CSTBLUMET_HERO-1536x1446.jpeg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Wheelbase is another marker which helps determine the difference between quick footed handling and stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The measurement comes from the distance between the centres of both wheels. It can be represented in two parts: rear centre (from the centre of the rear wheel axle to the bottom bracket) and front centre (from the centre of the BB to the centre of the front wheel axle), though few brands provide this level of detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Touring bikes\u00a0and\u00a0adventure bikes\u00a0then will have longer wheelbases, with\u00a0endurance bikes\u00a0in the middle and race bikes at the other end of the scale. As an example, a size 54 Specialized Roubaix has a wheelbase of 987mm vs 978 for a Tarmac.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, the wheelbase of an all round smaller bike will be shorter, so a rider who wants a really agile bike might choose a smaller bike, using a longer stem and handlebars to get the reach they want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another element that will influence stability is bottom bracket drop &#8211; how far the BB drops down from the two wheel axles. This standard has changed over time, with factors such as larger tyres playing a role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bottom bracket drop and chain stay length are two factors that you\u2019d expect to change throughout the size range of a model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">Now, lets take a look at some size
