I agree with Jürgen, riding a TT or cruzbike is like skating, i have to push
forward and
sidewards.
On my TT testbike i could move the frontwheel forward and backward, so > a - b <
changed (look at the attached drawing).
When a is same than b the pedal induced steering force disappears, even better
when
a is bigger than b.
a and b are the leverarms and the hub serves as turning point, when you look
from the top.
