Hi Murray,

Yeah! Peters tailwheel assembly is a great weight reduction - Unfortunatly not what I am trying to achieve.

I would like to improve weight distribution (tyre surface contact area) while retaining my tailwheel break away swivel.

If I go down the 6" tailwheel conversion, it is likly to be with the the API forks. This will retain my break away swivel steering. The question then is do I use the API solid (heavy) wheel or look for a lighter pneumatic (P Anson?) wheel.
