RH lists the following for the Babyshoe Pass - Actual width on 20 mm rim (internal): approx. 40 mm - Actual width on 23 mm rim (internal): approx. 41 mm
Your measurement of 38mm on 17mm internal seems in line. My experience with RH tires (Fleecer Ridge, Juniper Ridge, Rat Trap Pass) has also been in line with the guidance. -Dave On Friday, December 13, 2024 at 1:25:34 PM UTC-5 Oliver Moss wrote: > Hey Bob, interesting thanks for all this great info.
