That is strange. I'm pretty sure it's one of the older-style forks crown with (a bit) less clearance. The newer fork crowns have what Brian described as a 'frown'. Here's a photo from Leslie's flickr where the new frowning fork crown really obvious: https://flic.kr/p/bq9xMA. More on this later, but the 60 mm Big Apples which are perfect for my new-style Bombadil look to be OK on my recently acquired old-style Bombadil (haven't ridden it but they fit.)... so I'm not sure if moving the posts for a switch from 650B --> 26″ would really make a huge difference to tyre clearance on the old-style Bombadil, since there's a reasonable amount of clearance already?
In the photos on that ebay listing the pads *seem* to be near the bottom of the slot in the V-brake so maybe 650B could be made to work with the right brake? Ahh, so much fun speculatin' on bikes for sale. Happy mondays, Tom -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
