Question about hardtail frame geometry?
I'm in the market for a new hardtail and I am trying to compare the geometry of different frame designs. In general will a frame with a longer top tube be better at keeping the front of the bike down on steep climbs? I know there are other variables such as seat position, seat tube angle, head tube angle, fork length and such, but will the more layed down riding position be better for climbing hills than something with a more upright riding position? Thanks for your help.
