Desmosedici theory - Crank positions.

  1. Very interesting read on crank positions in relation to the front wheel. Shame his book is only published in Italian.

    Shafts. Meaning Crankshafts.

  2. Good read. I read elsewhere they tested at Misano a chassis with the engine rotated back 30 degrees, presumably this would allow the crank to be further forward?
     
  3. Dunno about crank position theory but as an engineering type I would think it would move a rotating mass nearer to the C of G removing forces when speeding up or slowing down? It would also give more latitude to move things like wheelbase, C of G etc?
