An important spotlight someone just brought my attention to…<br><br>Rear end length, Simply put: Longer (at the end) makes it harder to manual and a bit harder to snap out of the gate. Shorter makes it easier to manual and easier to snap out of the gate. Height and body position is a huge factor as well

I liked the crank arm analogy. I have a Redline 26 inch bmx that I bought out west then moved to Charlotte and the BMX track ( Hornets Nest ) didn't allow 26 in bikes. I was bummed but still have that bike. That's my all around cruiser bike. Older, in my 50s. First bmx was a Raleigh and a Robinson in the 80s.
