I pumped the Hetres up to 50psi and went on a ride today. Overall, there was less of a feeling/sound of a rub. However, occasionally under heavy load the feeling persisted. Wondering if maybe its a bottom bracket issue (or maybe even a seat issue?).
For reference I just measured my Hetres and at 50 psi they measure almost exactly 42mm on the VO rims. I don't think I'm at problem solved just yet, so I'll keep looking. Thanks for the help so far. -Aaron On Sat, Feb 22, 2014 at 8:35 PM, carnerda...@bellsouth.net < carnerda...@bellsouth.net> wrote: > I have a 52 green and gold Sam H with the original Fatty Rumpkins and VO > stainless steel fenders (58 mm).
