One is talking static CoG…the others are talking effective CoG…
You take an object and find the balance point, and that is inline with the CoG…but take that object out of a vacuum and wind will ruin the balance by introducing an external force…moving the effective CoG…if the CoG can’t move, transfering your weight would have no effect on the bike…
Anyway, it’s been a long time since I took a serious Physics course/lab…sooo….I could be wrong…(probably am…)…wasn’t a physics major, just electronics…but that was 20yrs ago…I think most of it has leaked out my ear in my sleep…lol
