Hi all, due to the postings lately on fork blade shape having no difference on ride, because people have stated that its all to do with the flex at the crown, then one could say that chainstay shape also would have no effect on ride? Afterall the chainstay supports a wheel at one end and is also mounted at the other to a lug, as in the bottom bracket, just as a fork supports a wheel at one end and is mounted to a lug at the other, as in a fork crown. Looking forward to some comments on this observation.......regards wayne davidson Invers NZ........
