I think it would be cool to run a big wheel in front, 20 to maybe as much as a 24" rim.  Anyone doing something like that?  What are the logistics involved?  How's the handling?  Where might one find the appropriate wheel for such an application?

Thanks!

There was a thread 3 or 4 months ago on that very subject.

The sum total of the discussion was:

The wheels were very expensive

The one manufacturer of the wheels was not making them anymore.

Some supply houses were advertising them but would not respond to questions about the wheels.

This is, of course, not the definitive word!
