Can you put a smaller front wheel on conversion kit? I would like to try it with a 24" front wheel and 700c back wheel (or possibly 26" wheel) I got the frame and conversion kit and built it with 700c wheels but found that as I am 5'5" the bottom bracket is higher than the seat, which is rather too high to lift my legs with my back problem.
Plus it is also difficult to get started riding, so I have not managed to have a proper go on it and shelved the project for the winter (which was a bit too long over here). I think that if I could lower the bottom bracket 3" then I might be ok. This would need the 24" / 700c wheel combination and maybe also a shorter wheel spindle to bottom bracket piece. This would alter the steering angle, which might be improved with alterations to, or a different plate that attaches the bottom of the forks to the boom. Any suggestions, recommendations or advice on this would be great please......I can't work out how to extend my legs 6" ;-)
