"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. "



I think centrifugal force would be the bigger difference, perhaps more 

so on the front.I have a dual 700c Python - there's no added stability from 
increased speed. I expected there would be, but high speeds is a problem on 
it. Small wheels (front wheel close to the pivot) gives more precise 
steering (big steering input = small effect), and a more forgiving bike. I 
have ridden Dirk's baby-python and it is easier to ride than mine at low 
speed. And Dirk has no problems with high speed as I can read.

This is mine : http://www.scheel.net/HPV/Python/default.asp

My next python will be sporting dual 406, 451 or 507 rims.

Cheers,
Torben
