My Saluki was a 60, and I've never had a close look at any Homer so I'd be rash if I offered you assurances, although my guess is they'd be fine. Perhaps someone at RBW could speak with authority to this question. However, I definitely did need to trim a bit. I didn't do a very neat job of it, as you can see here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/97916047@N00/3522098460/in/set-72157617915097787 and http://www.flickr.com/photos/97916047@N00/3522098114/in/set-72157617915097787/ but it came as a horrible surprise that I needed to do so and I didn't really plan it out at all. I basically just grabbed a saw and had at it until they fit. Even so, it still worked out fine and although those cut edges look close to the chain stays they never made contact. Someone planning ahead for this could have made the cuts nicer, and maybe edged them with some rubbery substance, perhaps RTV sealant. I'm not sure if crimping rather than cutting would have done it, because clearance for a Hetre was pretty close at the chain stays (although adequate). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
