Hey guys, long story short I just recently bought the 65. I don't have the smallest thighs in the world, and the current steering wheel is a 15 inch Grant, can't get much movement from it due to it rubbing on my legs. I'm thinking maybe a 13 inch would be a world's difference, but I haven't seen many talk about the smaller steering wheels or how reliable they are. In the end, all I want is the ability to move the seat up some so I can safely see over the hood, and obviously move the wheel.

Grant sells smaller steering wheels and they are just as "reliable" as any other.
The problem you will run into if you don't have power steering is that smaller wheels will be harder to make turns
especially when not moving. You don't have as much leverage. if you've got power steering then it wont be as much of a problem.
