[python] one stubborn guy



A friend of mine is quite convinced that negative trail always, in all cases, is an evil thing. Negative trail is unstable and not providing the bike good riding characteristics, he says. He has been presented with the argument of the pendulum/gravity-theory that explains why the python stabilises due to the riders weight. But he stubbornly keeps shaking his head. He believe that the python design would benefit a lot if one used a positive trail instead, like in other centre-steered bikes. You will find his sketches here:

Now, what argument should I use to convince the guy he is wrong?


cheers,
