Read the "wheels bigger than 20 are unnecessary " thread if you can find it.

I am not against 26" wheels, but they are less usefull on a folder. Most folding 26" wheeled bikes fold crudely and only one or two at the very most fit a car boot at a time. They do not go in small cars at all without folding the seats down. This is no good if you have a family.

Taking both wheels off a non folding bike is just about as effective as a folding 26" IMO, but the folder is slightly quicker and easier, that is not much as folding frames are heavier and more expensive.
There are a few small folding exceptions such as the under speced, over price,heavy "IFmode".

I dont thing that finding solutions to accommodate 26" wheels is the answer when the advantages of larger wheels are in depute other than due to market forces,
but show us what you can do.

the german bike that was mentioned is at http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread...n+folding+bike
