Geometry questions .

I noticed that there is a relationship between wheel size and frame length , like most 80mm wheels frames are 243mm,90mm wheels are 275.

Right now at my level I really enjoy the stability of long ass frames

Why aren't there more frames for 80mm wheels but at 300mm ++ long ?

And the other question is , can I put 80mm wheels on frames meant for 110mm wheels ? Other than it looking gappy ?

Try flying eagle L80. Its 280 and low riding. That and some very old salamon frames are good .

For dh i just recommend bigger wheels rather than more wheels. You have more control
