[RBW] 650b tires for 47 cm Roadini

I seem to remember reading that the 47 Roadini was designed with bigger clearances in mind because tire availability in 650x32-35 is pretty slim, whereas 650x38-42 is much easier to find. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To

The Continental Contact Speed is available as 650B x 32. Blackwall only. (English supply) Hutchison Confriere is also 650B x 32 and has a gray sidewall (French sellers). Grand Bois Cypres 650B x 32 is available with a tan wall. (from Japan or from Berthoud). You can also ask on the 650B li

[RBW] 650b tires for 47 cm Roadini

Eric, does 650B have much larger clearances than the 700C Roadinis? The 50cm listed for sale elsewhere on this forum shows Jack Brown 33s without a whole lotta room left over, certainly not for 43. I used that same tire on my 53cm frame and remember not having a ton of clearance left, either. Si

[RBW] 650b tires for 47 cm Roadini

The clearance according to Vince is 43mm. 38s have plenty of room. I don’t know why the geometry charts say otherwise. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send a

Eric, did her 47 Roadini have clearance for a 38? I must have read somewhere that 35 is max. If it fits 38, there are a few more options for sure. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop recei

[RBW] 650b tires for 47 cm Roadini

I actually just went through trying to find 35mm tires for my gf’s Roadini. Ended up bumping up to 38mm because they were much more readily available. I believe Grand Bois Cypres are 32mm, but I couldn’t find those anywhere except Japan. Others may be in the know on better options though... --

[RBW] 650b tires for 47 cm Roadini

I see Riv sells the Continental basketball tire at 650b x 32, and that tire is surely a good one, but I wonder if there are any other roadish tires availble in 650b x 32 - 35 range for that small Roadini. Panaraer Nifty Swifty's would be perfect, but they don't seem to be available anymore. I

[RBW] 650b tires: the fat and the skinny about them?

+1 on the Hutchinsons. They are the widest tires my Sweetpea frame accommodates. I also have Soma xPress on the Bleriot; like those as well, but the bikes have different uses. The big miles happen on the Sweetpea. Continental has also come out with a narrower 650b tire, but that's all I know

[RBW] 650b tires: the fat and the skinny about them?

I'm the current happy rider of a Curt Goodrich-built Proto Saluki (my friend from this list and I have already traded the bike back and forth once between us) shod with Gran Bois 42s. It's a nimble and quick-turning, and I'd like to play around with tire sizes a bit to see how "roady" I can ri

Re: [RBW] 650B Tires

Just catching up with this. I can't at the moment recommend any removable-core Presta tubes because I never get around to checking until after I've bought them and brought them home and left them sitting in a box for 6 months, after which time I forget where I bought them and it's too late to retu

I rode soma Caz tires from oakland, ca up the coast then went the 199 thru southern central Oregon up to Portland OR /Vancouver WA via 99 with zero flats. Even stopped by crater lake. All pavement miles, those tires are fast. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Goog

Re: [RBW] 650B Tires

Orange Seal could be used for sealing inner tubes and is very effective doing so. Scroll down this http://www.slowtwitch.com/Products/Things_that_Roll/Tires/Sealant_Test_-_Part_1_4147.html and this http://www.slowtwitch.com/Products/Things_that_Roll/Tires/Sealant_Test_-_Part_2_4155.html for t

Re: [RBW] 650B Tires

Patrick and other Orange Seal users: I want to try this in my daughters bike, which will soon be converted to 650b, with tubes and Maxi Fasties. I assume I will need tubes with removable valves (Presta). I don't think any of the tubes I have, have those; can you recommend some please? Thanks

Re: [RBW] 650B Tires

To add a data point, they do for me. I started testing Orange Seal sealant in inner tubes on my wife and my commuters that regularly see the worst conditions. Regularly, I will pull culprits--glass shards, staples--out of the tires. The tires might lose some pressure while the sealant congeals

Re: [RBW] 650B Tires

Patrick: Orange Seal’s web site only mentions using their product in tubeless tires. Does it work in innertubes as well? --Eric Norris campyonly...@me.com www.campyonly.com campyonlyguy.blogspot.com > On Feb 5, 2017, at 11:11 AM, Patrick Moore wrote: > > Carla -- in case it's worth repeating

Re: [RBW] 650B Tires

Carla: Use Orange Seal. It's very expensive, but the improvement over Stan's (and Stan's is good!) is worth the premium. Both work in tubes, at least at pressures over, say, 35 psi, and in tubeless tires at low pressures down to 15 psi, at least with thinwall and supple tires. I know how they wor

How do you like the cazaderos on pavement? I'm on pavement about 80% of the time, but when I'm not, a slickish tire isn't cutting it -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails f

Re: [RBW] 650B Tires

Carla -- in case it's worth repeating (it may not be) I get the best of both worlds by using Orange Seal or Stan's in my tubes.
