for the 650c front haters!
so I got a 650c front wheel nothing exciting but I was kinda excited for BAR SPINS BABY!
so I put my wheel on spin the bars bam! all the way around . RAD!
So I ride it around and it feels cool not weird at all.
so here comes the wheelie bars spin............
..................................................Good wheelie. spin the bars.........................................
and BAM! ...............DAMN! toe OVERLAP!
my dreams are crushed for now.

you have toe overlap with a 650c front?
…that is some tight geometry!

try using a smaller cage, like run a md if you normally run a lrg. just a suggestion, no need for everyone to riot now.

There will more than likely be overlap always. Just put your feet at 12 and 6 - I've got 170 cranks on my angus and can still do them with ease...

i meant, of the toe overlap and the falling.
go do it again, this time with a camera. do it a few times, and choose the best shot.
