yes. most people probably haven't read a guide like this, but if you've ridden a good variety of bikes you get a sense for how the bb height affects stability, or how the head tube angle and the trail affect your steering.
some bikes even offer adjustable geometries by moving a bolt to a different position, which really makes it easy to understand how a change in geometry affects the handling characteristics.
- ehnto 6y agoI got a rapid lesson in how changing the length of the seat stay to slacken the head tube angle leads to a reduced bottom bracket height. A rock I would normally clear snagged a pedal and I went careening over the bars. A good example of how all of these variables influence each other and how bike fit and geometry is always a balancing act.
