Frontwheel drive
"Did the ride change any as the bike evolved into 20" wheels front and back?"
Yes it did it put the trail back to where it should be. The original bike with 26" wheels was a good rider and putting on the smaller front wheel thew it off so having equal size wheels put it back into balance. Since pedaling a front wheel drive affects the steering so much the trail being off was hardly noticeable. It also lowered the center off gravity. Another plus is it allowed my short legs to reach the ground. I could sit on the bike comfortably at a stand still.
