Eldron Posted May 11, 2011 Share Seems like there is some varied perceptions here. The way I understand it, a bike "cockpit" is that which relates to the handlebar, stem and stem height from bottom Aheadset bearing. It relates to it's lengths and angles. With other words, what you steer with. I would agree that there must be a more appropriate name. I far as I understand it has nothing to do with saddle or top tube. I do not care what you call that part. This is confusing - I always thought cockpit referred to bars, stem, seat and seat post. Much like a cockpit in an aircraft...

HowellingWulf Posted May 11, 2011 Share So 26er cockpits are just called pits? That does explain a lot ..and 29ers only called cocks. Sure does explain a lot :devil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cycho Posted May 11, 2011 Share This is confusing - I always thought cockpit referred to bars, stem, seat and seat post. Much like a cockpit in an aircraft... agreed... i think some manufacturers use the name to group these specific components? Think its a little 90's though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldron Posted May 11, 2011 Share +1 He-he. Sadly - like most of us - I am a roadie. And single speeder. And duathlete. And 26" rider. And time triallist. Triathletes are the only people I have left to hate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldron Posted May 11, 2011 Share 26" road bike? Outstanding! Way to remain a purist. 29ers are so mainstream these days I'm considering putting a 650B rear wheel on my 29er so I can be unique again. 7.5niner baby! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
