Of course. If you agreed, your OP would have been so confusing. Talking about crits and fork flop added fog to the question (better stated in #211 ).

*IT DIDN'T.

It isn't about different bike but it's about differences in fork flop?

*FORK FLOP IS A DETAIL TO CONSIDER. NOBODY DID.

What bike are you using? Is it really any different than the bikes other people are using? (Seems unlikely to me.)

*NEVER SAID IT WAS. SEE WHAT I SAID. I WONDERED IF FLOP HAD AN EFFECT. SOME BIKES HAVE A LOT AND IT AFFECTS THEM. I bought a newish CX bike and it had 72deg HT and too much chopper effect.

Yes. It's in every (reasonable) definition I've never seen. Keep in mind that it's a matter of degree. But if you want to sharpen the turn, you have to definitely steer to the outside momentarily.


"Swoopy"? Sounds like higher-speed, longer radius turns.

*OR PUSHING THE BARS SIDEWAYS TOWARD THE GROUND AT ANY SPEED.

(No one is saying there's only one type of turn method.)

*MANY SAY THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY A BIKE TURNS. THAT THEY AREN'T STEERED.
