Grant wrote in a Reader a couple of years back about creating a 603mm BSD rim size designed mostly to allow 700c racing bikes to take a fatter tire. The idea is that you gain some clearance, but for frames that were designed for short reach brakes, you can still reach the rims with longer caliper brakes. Often a 700c->650b conversion will need to use very long-reach brakes, which get pretty flexy and low on stopping power. -- Bill Connell St. Paul, MN --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
