I am selling my Liteville 301 Mk11 and have been asked the following questions - anyone know the answers?
-if the bike is Liteville´s "scaled sizing" ? so it is possible for him to run 26 wheels?
I run 650b, however have had a 26" on the rear, have no idea of 26" would be ok up front.
-if the bike is Hammerschmidt crank ready?
I'm currently set up with Shimano XT 1 x 11. Never considered a non standard crank so have no idea if it would fit?
Pretty sure mines a Mk11 in large. It’s running 26” both ends
Ran my 601 with 26" up front for a while, no problems.
26" is absolutely fine in a small 301 frame and to be recommended. The Hammerschmitt specific BB fits any threaded 68/73mm BB shell so that will be fine too.

The 601 (mk1) manual states that there's a Hammerschmitt adapter that fits to the ISG mounts which the 301 or later 601's don't have. There's no mention in the 301 manuals (or later 601 manuals) referring to the Hammerschitt.
The ISG mounts are needed to fit one according to Park:
The HammerSchmidt™ is designed to secure to the ISCG or ISCG 05 mounting tabs that are a permanent part of the frame. The ISCG mounts consist of three special frame holes around the bottom bracket shell that allow the installation of various chain retention systems. The HammerSchmidt™ is designed ONLY for frames with permanent ISCG mounts. Adaptor plates bolted between the shell and bottom bracket are not acceptable. The system will load the mounting tabs torsionally, and it is important the tabs be integrated as part of the frame.
Thanks for your help on this....
