   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Track_stand

   The uphill needs to be sufficient to allow the rider to create backward motion by relaxing pressure on the pedals, thus allowing the bike to roll backwards.

9. Q factor (bicycles) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q_factor_(bicycles)

Mountain bike cranks are typically about 20mm wider than road cranks. [6] A larger Q factor (wider tread) will mean less cornering clearance (while pedaling) for the same bottom bracket height and crank ...
