I no longer ask builders to do math. What I do is to ship the brakes to them and tell them to build the bike around the brake so that the pads are at the bottom of the slots. For better or worse, bikes are built around the brakes you've chosen, and maximizing tire clearance is a key piece. With the Tektro 559s at least there's so much reach that it's no big deal. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
