Has anybody tried to convert 26/20 recumbent into 26/26?
Just tried putting about 7 cm of books under front wheel of my Vision R40 (LWB/USS), and noticed
that my feet still reach the ground well enough. It should be rather easy to find cheap used MTB
steel front fork and weld the small part needed for steering linkage.
If that works, i get bottom bracket a few cm higher than seat, which i hope is better than the
current 0 cm.
It would be almost like the Vision "Saber", but in LWB.
Also i don't have to deal with the 406 size problems. Studded tires easily available + good
selection of summer tires.
Also i hope that curbs, rocks and loose snow will be less of a problem.
