Ok, so I'm usually fiddling with things... After converting my Ram to 650b, I had my 36h 700c Dyad/XT wheelset sitting there.
My Bombadil is a 650b bike, with loads of clearance (previously ran 2.3 Neomotos under fenders). I am using Paul Motolite v-brakes on this bike, which are extremely adjustable. I started wondering.... So I swung by MSL and grabbed a couple of inexpensive cyclocross tires, in the 700cx33 range. Mounted the tires on my wheelset, popped the wheels into the frame, and adjusted the brakepad mounts upwards by 3/4".... http://www.flickr.com/photos/leslie_bright/8665129859/in/photostream/ And.... it works, well. Very well. Kinda weird, running a lighter tire combo on this bike; I'm used to Conti Tour Rides and NeoMotos on my Synergy/LX wheelset. I also pulled my racks off for the time-being, hung them up on the wall of the workshop; just wanted to see how the bike felt w/o the extra weight. Will run w/ this combo for a few weeks, think on it awhile, before I switch to the Rumpkins (I've pulled the Tour Rides off of my wheels and mounted the Rumkins, but haven't tried them yet, since I adjusted the brakes for 700c instead of 650b now...). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
