As you apply load via the cockpit and loadbay, flex will occur in the bottom tube at the joint with the vertical tube which houses the control-steerer.
This flex will allow the loadbay to apply a force rearwards across the unsupported vertical tube.
What force will this tube sustain at design capacity?
