So, basicaly, I am wondering about frame design for sports/race bikes
How do the factories calculate what forces are acting on the frame and what thier deflection targets are?
I can understand why perimiter and trellis frames are ideal designs... but I would really like to know how they define how much deflection is too much and how much material is too much from all the different loads they apply...
Do you guys know any sites explaining that sort of stuff?
