I bought a wheel a few years ago (can't remember the make) with every
intention to install it in the van.  Bought the adapter hub and everything
- I have long torso and short arms, and had meant to turn an extension tube
to bring the wheel up a few inches.  I got the wheel with thin profile
spokes to see the instrument pod, and extending it up means a better view.

Alas.... there is no time to tinker anymore, so the project sits.  I will
post it when it gets done.
So there.
