bb height info on code and focus frame.

[sakis]

hello,does anyone know what is the bb height on the code 2 frame in inches and on focus frame?
the code has 40 mm above axle line but i donw know how to calculate it,i think it is coming at 12'' but not sure

And if the cube frame is 13'' slammed?thanks

Hi,
if it is 40 mm above axle line, you just have to add half of your wheel diameter, right? The latter is strongly affected by your tires.
I have a Suelo Simple frame (with an Odyssey Classic zero offset fork) which has a BB about 40 mm above axle line (roughly measured by myself) which equals 28.7 cm=11.3" above ground with KHE Mac 1 tires.
It is interesting that the frame was described with 11.7" BB hight. I assume this was estimated with 1.9" tires... That is why I think only the measurement above axle line makes sense.

There are 25.4 mm in an inch. 40mm/25.4mm = 1.57 inches. Now add that to the radius of the wheel. Wheels have an approximate 20 inch diameter (depending on tire size it will vary a little) so the radius is 10 inches. 10 in + 1.57 in = 11.57 inch BB height.

imagine a string going from axle to axle ....
Then 40mm above the string is the center of the axle height.


I am guessing just under 12" by the silly old standard.

This is correct.
