Can anyone tell me if I change the 19” front wheel to a 17” wheel would it lower the whole bike or just the front end?
It would be nice if I could get my feet closer to the ground.
I stay down in Dumfries so a bit more than a quick nip up the road but thanks for the offer to you both.
Ahh a Doon Hamer. I grew up in Langholm. I must have been bad in a former life....
Reggie 553 of this parish has done the conversion to at least two of his bikes, if I remember correctly.
I would love to be able to put my feet down like Reggie

It is simple geometry...A 17" wheel vs a 19" wheel will lower the front by 1" ! So I would guess your seat/pegs will be 1/2 inch lower...Maybe someone with a math degree can tell you the exact amount if you put the wheelbase and point of footpegs/seat into the formula...
