Been reading some really intresting posts of custom frames people have either changed existing frames or made from scratch to create their own optimal set up, and can not really find any info on the head angle they have used, for instance one would think that as the bikes speed would increase a bikes stability would come into play more and it would need to be ajusted to accomodate this, the bike Im converting for my first ever Mid Mount E Bike has an head angle of 71 degrees, this will be fine as Im staying totally within the laws & top speed is only 25 km/hr, I was thinking that you would probably need to be around 64 - 68 degrees to create high speed stability.
Am I thinking about this area completeley wrong, as the posot I heave read about frames being chopped up, or new ones from scratch to create a custom build seems to have no alterations to accomodate faster speed stability, as I am thinking of building my own frame from scratch for my second build I feel this could be a valid area I would have to consider, or does the head angle have not as much affect on stability as possible other modifications.
Anyway hope this post has some merit & all could educate me about my query.
Cheers All
