BKU / GEOMETRY / ENTITY

Head-tube angle

Angle used to describe the orientation of the head tube / steering axis relative to the ground plane under a stated convention.

bku.concept.head_tube_angle

Definition

Angle used to describe the orientation of the head tube / steering axis relative to the ground plane under a stated convention.

Reference points

  • steering axis
  • ground reference

Angle conventions and rounding vary; use the manufacturer or measurement method as the authority for a specific bicycle.

Geometry Lab rule

BKU will not translate this single number into a handling verdict. A future tool must show multiple interacting dimensions and its assumptions.

GRAPH NEIGHBORHOOD

Incoming and outgoing edges are different.

Direction and relation vocabulary remain explicit. Association is not compatibility, causality, ranking or a handling prediction.
