Hi Paul, your design is complicate and will add more weight to the front wheel, also the leverarm for cornering will be shorter. If this is fortune or not I dont know. With my first leverarm python the feet are very near to the hub. In a few weeks when I will have accomplished my second python, I will be able to compare the influence of short and long leverarm, even so it will be difficult, because the steering angles are different. What speeks against a smaller front wheel? There exists a 20 ' python in this forum.
