again about small wheels In the python project survey I can see that
the Monty/ Ghislain/ Borm/Dirk bikes all have a horizontal tube
between steeringpivot and frontwheelhub where the Nobuo and Gavin
Katts bike have the connecting tube from pivot to the fronthub under
an angle. is it just a matter of groundclearence or does this angle
influence the steeringbehaviour. I'd think when under an angle the
seat rise when making a turn is greater so also the selfcentering
effect should be greater. but I don't ride a python yet so I can't
tell.
The angled design has the advantage of gaining ground clearance and
it avoids a possible collision of chain and "chainstay" in some
gear combinations.
The linear design seems stiffer and the look is somewhat racier
to me.
Seat rise should only depend on pivot angle, trail and wheel size.
still only 15.000 km on a flevo
Good preconditions.
Cheers,
Jürgen.
