What do you prefer and why?

Personally i like a high bb height, i didn't used to but i do now, I find the bike likes to sit on back wheel so much nicer and it lets you concentrate more on the move, rather than struggling to find a balance point.

i ride a GU St right now, +45 ish i think, feels pretty nice, especially with my new zoo bars, way better control and like everything , getting way more power out for the rear compression.

Though i will be switching to a +60 TP once my frame comes, gunna be sweet ha, or i may have to give the new zoo a try :P

Well i've been riding Scott's GU and +60 definitely does feel way better than anything else i've tried. I feel more confident in my riding and almost feel as though i can go alot bigger too Very Happy

I have a phase which is 5mm bb rise and it rides really nice compared to my mates 05 pitbull. Dunno why though, might be the bar stem combo :P

You boys and your high bb's...
Love anything low, with a fairly high bar and a stem around 15x80 is perfection.
I just love the stability, and the balance in manuals :P
Has a few drawbacks, but all round i love them to pieces.
