The Ram dropouts are spaced at 132.5 so it is intended to take either 130 or 135 wheelsets and up to 37 mm tires. The crack was in the dropout. not the tube in the famous "hack-fix" pictures. That should be very repairable and yes, the current (Henry James?) dropouts used on the Waterford Hillbornes look stouter to me.
