Thanks. So by flipping the back of the bike, it makes the seat tube 10cm taller, and as the head and seat angle changes, the effective arm reach becomes 5cm longer. It also gives us the ground clearance to fit the pedals, which would not be possible if the frame was fixed. You can see the geometry of the bike here www.littlebigbikes.com/sizing-guide/
Hi there! I’m trying to switch my son’s little big to the big by doing this change but the seat clamp seems to be stuck on the bike, making it difficult to remove and swap to the big side….any tips for how to remove it? Thank you!
Hi Carrie, that's great your son is ready to pedal. If you loosen the knob on the quick release clamp by turning it anti clockwise it will be easier to get off. When you fit it to the other end of the seat tube " big mode" fit the clamp then tighten the round knob clockwise until the saddle/seatpost is clamped when the lever is closed. I hope this helps but please send us a video otherwise via email or whatsapp on our website. Best wishes, Simon
