[python] Re: burning legs

Salut Florent,

That's the reason why I build my front fender !
If you use 26" wheels it's very near to your legs (inside) and it's depending of your inseam lenghts (if they are long enough or to short). If your inseam is short you better use 24" or 20 "" wheels for the front part . Look at the wiki page Dirk has worked out some comparative lists: http://en.python.data.he-hosting.de/Wheel_Sizes. 
But if the fender is made good enough (glossy) I think it's no problem .
I have no problems with this at the moment.You also needs protection between the front wheel and legs especially if you're sitting low . I crashed two times, one time heavily and I jumped over without touching anything of "this" parts, only my ellbows were quite blessed and I bought protections for them. 
You also need a front fender to avoid the raindrops projections.
Hope this can help you ....
What's your bb-eos lenght of your bike?(in relation with your inseam lenght)

Salut

Serge

Ps: et désolé pour mon anglais!

hello list,
i'm wondering (two weeks before begining the building) if you have to open your legs wide in order to avoid contact with the front wheel. I tried to figure it out with a wheel between my legs and it seemed that i had to push it quite far from my groin in order to avoid such contact. what distances are you using? I think I will need a lot of time to overcome the fear of a front crash and the potential damages the wheel would cause to my intimate organs... ouch
