yes my concerns alsoSorry to hear of the sphincter-factor-9 moment. That can't have been fun at all.
It does suggest that you need over 50% of the rider-weight somewhere ahead of the rear axle OR every bump the front hits will have you pitching backwards (especially when going up a steep slope and hitting a rock/rut).
Maybe , need a new mock-up see belowI think your idea of the BB spar folding backwards for transport has merit for this situation because you can keep the short wheelbase but move your C-of-G more central to the 4 contact points of the wheels.
I am only skating around this setback unless I get some figures ?Better weight distribution and traction all round perhaps?
So first up put wheels back on front and shove some scales under each wheel in turn , not accurate however it will yeild some figures to start with.
If I resign myself to it sitting on the outside back of the shed I can go from 55" to 66" in length without a problem ?
