I'm sure the size of the frame matters as well; mine are fairly large. Also, a purpose-built touring bike like the Bruce Gordon Rock 'n Road Tour (which was my touring bike for 10 years) is designed to have clearance to avoid pannier heel-strikes. Some sport-touring frames were closer to "sport" than to "touring" and had less clearance in back, probably exacerbated on small size frames. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
