Buckshaver wheel size

zap427 · August 31st, 2018, 4:30 PM

Hello,

My old Buckshaver's LX group is worn out and I am too old to ride it rigid on the single track. Is it possible to increase the wheel diameter and turn it into a commuter bike? I have been told I cannot increase wheel diameter with the cantilevered brakes and would like to verify that as correct? If a wheel diameter increase is possible would this negatively impact handling geometry?

Any help would be great!
