[python] Re: New Python

Hello Jaime,
Tobias Gommel has built a python with really fat tires. See attached picture. I think that apart from such a 20" front wheel there is no other realistic solution for your inseam length.
On this page http://en.openbike.org/wiki/Pivot you will find a brief overview of steering pivot solutions. Ordinary steering heads have already been tried. A friend of mine has one and there is no sign of wear or play yet (1000 km), so I would give it a try. 

Cheers,
Jürgen.

Hello all

Here I am again with a hand full of questions... After some days of
"frying metal" (as someone said before) and reading some very
interesting posts here on python's mailing list, I must say, but the
things that raises me questions are much more than the others. Maybe I
raised the goals far above my skills, but I will not give up. So... one question, maybe someone tried it before (I did not have the 
time to read all previous posts, so maybe someone did): As I need a
"fat" front wheel tire, the "standard" python front wheel frame is a
real problem I was not able to solve yet. Solution (?): building an arch
over the front wheel from BB to center pivot, attached to the wheel hub
with a triangular structure. Does it seem practical to you (in
abstract)? Second question: In a previous post was discussed what is better for the 
pivot. As I don't have another BB to use here, I was planning to use a
standard front wheel pivot from an old DF bike. Will it be a good
choice? There are very strong forces involved in the center pivot so...
I am not sure. Maybe someone can help me based on experience.

Thank you all,

Jaime
