it would mellow the head tube angle a lot and raise the bottom bracket.

It seems like it would be wonky but he seems to rip it up just fine.

This is something we've talked about doing in the shop a lot but always thought it was a bad idea haha. Also whether or not we could get a 22" wheel in the back of a MacNeil Deuce Deuce...

Maybe it's worth a shot? It looks like it makes sense with a smaller bar.

I would prefer the other way round, first because her ass would pinch the nuts and second the dick is easier to clean.

Mismatched wheel sizes on bikes is so stupid.

Looks interesting. That setup worked somewhat well on MTBs but was mainly used to run a fat tire (2.8-3.0) in the rear, while keeping a similar diameter to a regular front tire (2.5-2.75).
