Hi Dirk, You are right, it is the frontpart off the pivot which is compressed. Seems I was somehow confused. Maybe I better not write about bike geomety after midnight.

Given a very high pedal position, high pedalling force with low rider weight and the rider leaning with the upper part of his back against the seat could reverse the situation in theory, but then, the inverse pendulum effect should be reversed as well, since you are pulling up the bottom bracket. regards, DirkS Gerald <bepb@xxxxxx> hat am 20.
