You can use a 26" wheel on a 700c frame if you don't use rim brakes and your bottom bracket is high enough. I run an xtracycle on a karate monkey with cliffhanger 26" rims and Big apple tyres. It is...

Hi,

I've been riding an Azor Transport for a little while. It is basically an Opa with a re-inforced frame for heavier loads (two top tubes) and a brazed on mount for a front rack.

The bike is...

Mmmm... I think the best thing to do would be to ride both and see which one you like better.

Well... That really depends... IMHO, the Rincon would make an interesting 'donor' bike. If you plan to use your xtracycle everywhere and every day, why not using it. You will have to probably change...

It is unlikely to fit out of the box. It didn't for me. I had to use an alternate hitch for it. Burley sells them (http://www.burleygear.com/product_p/960002.htm) . The one I used basically replaced...

Hello,

Hi turtle77,

Indeed, there is a fair amount of flex with the xtracycle frame on, specially when the bike is really loaded. I can understand why you are a little disappointed. You converted a very...

Another thing... As far as handle bars are concerned, I've had drops on my first xtracycle for the first 5 months. It works but it is far from being comfortable when the bike is loaded, particularly...

Actually, I've built both a 700c and 26" xtracycle. 700c is not worth the hassle. You can definitely build the wheel as strong as a 26" but the xtracycle frame can only accommodate 700x35 or 37 at...
