I was wondering if someone found it useful for their riding, as having a certain efect in handling, like head angles. The point is that it wasnt mentioned in frame specs until a few years ago. Now it seems to be something important, but I'm not sure why.Does it have an effect on certain pedal tricks, like nose wheelies?At the end, you can do tricks on anything if you are determined enough, but it's always good to hear opinions.
What does a high bottom bracket do? What tricks does it help with?It seems to be a frame feature that was never much considered in the past.Anyone with experience on this?

Lower the bb = is more stable, less spinny. e.g Trials frames. Street/flat frames tend to be higher as per riding style.
