[python] Re: proper wheelbase and pivot angle for 26" wheels

Hello Ken,

I would not use 60 deg but 65 to avoid wheel flop.
Wheelbase depends on your body height and the seat inclination. I am 180 cm tall and my P3 has a WB of 129 cm. Seat inclination is 35 deg. 

Cheers,
Jürgen.

Friends,
What is the current wisdom regarding the proper wheelbase and pivot angle for 26" wheels? I have been studying the chart and I'm considering something like 110 cm and 60 degrees?
I would prefer to use 406 wheels but I've only found 26 inch after searching all summer for used bikes so perhaps I'll begin with what I have. Unless I have better luck this weekend. 

Thank you,
Ken
