So last night, I liberated my 700c wheelset from the Bomba and put the 650b's back on it, adjusted the brakes, so it's back to ol' self.
With that done, I popped the 700c wheelset into the canti-Rom's frame for the first time to have a look at clearances. Hmmmm.......... My front tire is currently a Specialized Borough CX 700c 32 variant (not the slick one), looks like there's plenty of room to go larger in the fork. MSO would be fine there. My rear tire is a Ritchey 700c 35 Speedmax CX, but it comes in more like a 34; and there's about 7mm between the center of the tire and the underside of the "brake" bridge (which isn't a brake bridge since it's a canti bike, but, it's the limiting location... the chainstay bridge has more clearance). A true 38 would clear, but anything larger would be 'really' close, getting down to a only a mm or two of clearance. Oh, wheelset is on Dyads... if the MSO actually hits 40 tall on Dyads, it'd be a no-go on the rear, I think... would fit the front, I'm sure. But, it's not like I have to, or necessarily should, run the same tire front and back... might do an MSO in the front, and a Conti in the rear, or something else... or, just stick w/ the Ritchey for now.... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
