turning radius -long vs. short
I've been trying to find the turning radius' of both the long wheel base and the short wheelbase. The closest I could find was the actual measurments of the wheel bases which are 117.5" for the short and 131.5" for the long.
Anyone know?

Re: turning radius -long vs. short
HMMM mines seem to be very short. I drop the 700R4 to 1st, turn the wheel all the way in one direction and stomp the gas!!!
Do the same, then measure the nice circle. |

I can do a U turn anywhere I want but that's only because I do "curb checks"
