The distance between the tailwheel axle and the steering yoke won't allow for a larger tailwheel. ?If you bought the 6" model of the same tailwheel, then you have a semi-pneumatic tire (hollow on the inside) that is much quieter, but also heavier and draggier. ?One can use the 4" wheel on the 6" frame by shimming outside of the bearings, which is what I did when I tested with the 4" tailwheel.
