on my TT prototype I changed the position of the front-wheel. The wheel is now 8 cm nearer to
the bb, as you can see on the photo, (TT 3).
The side forces while pedaling are now less than on the former TT because the distances
(pivot-hub) and (hub-bb) have now the same length. The hanging pendulum of the python still
makes pedaling smoother because it counteracts the pedaling forces. But on TT 3 it is now
nearly comfortable to go off hands.
The wheel flop has also decreased, because the positive trail is now 3 cm, (former 10 cm).
Downhill-ability is still good, 50 km max speed is no problem.
Turning radius is good, 2 meter and the bike is very agile (with handlebars)
I will put the front wheel another few cm nearer to the bb and I am courious how it will ride.
Cheers Jürgen Maier
