Hi Jürgen,
Haven't seen update on the KrankiKobra for a while. It seems to surfer from
having too large wheels like some first low racer builds.
The rear wheel does not seem to have enough self-centering effect. Rear pivot
too far from CoG? BB is way to high ...

I am glad that I started with 20" wheels. Using head tube for pivot, my bikes
tend to be taller (mid racer). Just for scale, 26" low riders must have been
6'1" / 187cm or taller / longer legs to be comfortable...

Thanks Vi, I especially like the slow motion. The Krankicobra guy should take
a look at your solution ;-)
Cheers,
Jürgen.

Hi All,
Some quick updates on my favorite bike:
Rear pivot is quite useful for folding but other methods should do fine.
For steering, it's still interesting and somewhat useful.

In previous study, the rear wheel seemed to complement / follow the
front wheel when stationary, probably due to the body moment.

In motion, the rear wheel now seems to counteract the pedal steering
interference. Don't have steering data yet but by the tuck of the rear
handle bar it feels like a significant correction of the bike direction.
Unfortunately I don't ride fast enough to see benefits...
Cheers,
Vi
