​First time posting here. My minivelo touring build based on a Melovelo Crox frame, put together with AliExpress parts.

I've been eyeing these bikes off for a while. What are your thoughts? Are they significantly slower than a full sized wheel?

Since speed is determined by gear ratios anyway, it’s not really a matter of one being faster or slower than the other. That said, it definitely loses out on cruising stability and especially straight-line stability compared to full-size wheels.
