CycloCross Racing is not always on flat ground, intentionally.. off camber hill ? either dig a pedal into the hillside, or get off, shoulder the bike and run..

The New Niche of Gravel bikes as I understand is a lower BB

I find its not much of an issue,, (High BB Bike Friday Pocket Llama , shift my weight onto 1 pedal get off the saddle , and put the other foot down..)


just use data and for your , desired top tube stand over., less drop , deduct that from seat tube length..
