with the front end clearance tire clearance issues on my Ram I'm seriously considering having canti studs added. I was going to repaint anyway this winter so it would be a low cost addition. It wouldn't be the 1st since I've seen one on Jim's Cyclofiend site. It woulds also allow for fenders with 32mm Paselas with no brake caliper in the way.
