I am thinking about converting my Semcycle XL into a 26er.
It's been a while since I've built a wheel and thought it'd
be fun to make it into a faster road uni.
Q 1. The frame looks like it will take a 26" wheel, does
anyone know for sure?
Q 2. With the changing of the wheel sizes for racing, will
the 24 still be used for some of the events? I hope to make
it to a competition this year and need to know if I should
build a complete 26 wheel and keep the 24 wheel, or should I
tear apart the 24 to use the hub and cranks for the 26?
Q 3. If using a tire of approximately the same width, how
much difference for riding (speed and other riding
characteristics) does it make to switch over to a 26 from a
24? I know I could do some math and figure it out, but I
know some of you have done the math already.
