Vision R40 mods

   Got his Vision R40, been working on it for a while. Taken out the 16" suspension forks/wheel and initially replaced with a found set of BMX 20" forks/wheel. The 20" forks are too long and the offset too great and it's thrown the steering off. Got another (kindly donated) set of 27" road forks on the way which I'm going to cut down and attach new dropouts.

So I'll probably try and replicate the geometry from the 16" setup but can't decide whether to use the 16" ISO 349 or the 20" wheel, what do you think? Ride quality? Tyre choice?

Was also tempted to put on some temporary long slot dropouts to have a play with the fork offset, worth it? Anyone done this? Images?

Any thoughts gratefully received, cheers, Sean
