Just wondering if anyone knows more about this:
There's a rumor regarding the Cannondale "Bent", which comes with a 16"
front and 20" rear wheelset. Supposedly the bike will handle a lot
better, and perform more effficiently, if the wheelset is replaced with
a 20" front and a 24" rear. A friend told me someone won a recumbent
race with a Cannondale that was upgraded in this manner for such a use.
I appreciate if anyone knows more details to share because I might be
interested in getting a Bent (it's soon to be discontinued) and I'd
like to know how far I can take its performance with future upgrades.
I have no idea where to get a replacement front fork (for the 20"
wheel) which would have the proper rake / steering geometry.
Thank you,
Rob
