The front suspension adaptation for python was not too bad, a bit strange
looking. However, bigger wheel with suspension is too big for me. Because of
the bulky fork, the legs have to spread out a little more, thus reducing the
reach. The tube connecting the fork and the pivot gets in the way of seat
placement close to the wheel. Lots of struggle between pedal reach & seat
height. Finally, I decided to go mid-racer seat height, and cut-up handlebar
to
reach the ground (sticks). Pedal reach / leg clearance is still marginal with
seat at 14" (36cm), but if higher seat is manageable, I would like to move the
seat forward and up another couple of cm. By the way, the idea of using sticks
instead of gloves on the ground from http://www.youtube.com/user/B100Saa is
pretty good, more on this later. Here is a bumpy
video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=liEgAoT_8eI

Subject: Front suspension 24" python
Hi All,
Moving on to 24" wheel and front suspension experiment. I have done FWD
suspension before (Trailbike03), but a python needs quite a bit of arrangement.
Attached is what I have cut up so far. BB-EOS is marginal for my inseam.
Your
inputs for this build would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Vi
