Thanks Joe, I don’t think I know what I need to measure and I don’t have a wheel mounted to do it properly. I found this on an old thread and the seller said I would fit 32 under fenders on it with a centerpull which makes me want to think that they will work...
The Roads and "road standard" and "long-lows" were all built around short-reach brakes, and went to a 48mm brake reach spec to maximize clearance. Now, that 48mm had 1mm of so of float upward before the brake required modification, and Waterford reserved/reserves a 2mm placement tolerance for bridges, so if you got one that was on the short end of okay, then a 28 or a 29 might be the biggest thing you could stuff in there--and it would still pass QC. The "right" thing to do for 1 1/4" tires + fenders in the late 1990's would have been to go to cantilevers, which I think was available on request for the Long-Lows, but some folks hated/hate them.... Once the BR-600 came back into production, the spec got changed to take advantage of that brake's increased (standard) reach. With them, even with a mid-slot spec, you can get a 32 under the bridges easily, and a 35 fits okay, depending on your braze-ons. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
