Wow, I feel like 13.75 is too short on my 20 inch, so I run my back end at 14. I can't imagine what 13.5 would feel like with bigger tires.

from having different bikes to compare, my impression is that the wheel size matters as to how "quick" the front end pulls up, even if the cs lengths are the same. like, for example, i have a Liquid Feedback 24"-wheel bike with a 14.25"cs; I also have a 20" with a 14.25"cs (a mid-school Homeless Mack). Despite the cs's being the same, the 20" still pulls up a LOT quicker. if you think about the axle as a pivot point, a smaller diameter wheel will react quicker with other things being equal. on the flipside imagine putting a 16" wheel on your regular 20". even if you put the axle in the same place, the front end will pull up quicker.... so . . . a 22" wheel, but with a shorter cs, will actually balance out.....

Uhm, actually I think that has more to do with bottom bracket height relative to the axel line. If you have two bikes with the same length cs and same bb height relative to the axels, then it should pull up the same.

it's good to have options, right?
