[python] Re: Svar: Re: Svar: Re: Max Speed 67 on Delta Trike

Hi Bart,

I'm 87cm/187cm (inseam/height) and did a first attempt with 28" front wheels, 
which wasn't really that successfull, because i could barely reach the front 
pedals. Since you plan to use 26" on the front like Jürgen and others, i don't 
see problems there. 
My personal opinion is "the smaller the better on the front wheel". A big front 
wheel means a larger front part and in turn a heaver one. This could result in 
sluggish behaviour.
As for the back wheel, the size isn't really that important in my view. Pythons 
with smaller wheels tend to have a rather "straight" frame, those with bigger 
wheels are "V-shaped" to bring the driver closer to ground.

Bigger wheels also means larger wheelbase (to some extend), which results in a 
bigger turning circle. But on the other hand, a long wheelbase could also mean 
more stability during high speed travel. This might bring us back to the actual 
thread topic ;-)


regards,
DirkS


 
Hello,  
   
I've been looking at pythons on the internet for a few months now and starting 
to make plans for a P3-inspired build this winter. Given my rather large 
in-seam length (93cm / total body height 1.93m), I;m considdering 28" wheels. 
From avaiable parts I would favour 28" in the back and 26" in the front. But 
I'm worried that such geometry will obset the bike's behaviour. Can anybody 
give me some recommendations?  
   
Thanks!  Bart
