Hello all, I am curious to get some feed back on the use of small wheels on the CowboyTrail. My family and I are planning a trip spring 2019 and part of us will be on a Bike-Friday tandem. I'm wondering if anyone has a perspective or guidance on how the smaller wheeled bike would handle.

Need more detail. Which section are you planning to ride? How far? You'd be OK going for a little while and on certain portions of the trail, but you don't want to try a long distance

We rode August 2017 on Ranz recumbents from Valentine to Norfolk and back. 20" on front and 26" on back. No problems.

We just finished the trail from Valentine to norfolk. My peeps used mountain bike tires. Road tires i would not recommned. We also had the tire liners for thorns. This time of year the thorns are not mature but later in the year they will be worse. But we did keep meeting up with a group that used road tires. They did it but had to travel down the high way in sections and had to get a tire replaced. We had a wet ride with lots of rain. We didn't have any tire trouble. If you do use road tires bring spare tubes with you.
