Hi, It seems your choice of brake will affect the the width of tire the bike can accept. If you get tektro R538 brakes (or the big mouth at Riv), the bike might be able to take up to 32mm. I run SKS P45s (the box section of the P35s can be a limiting factor) and can run up to pasela 32mm pretty t

I'm not sure what the G-man is doing on the new budget Quickbeam frame but I hope it has tubing similar to the Sam Hillborne. Anyone have any classified intel on this? Just doing my recon It would be neat if it where painted some sort of army green or desert tan to go along with my Baggins bag

I know that there is the recommendation that the tire width and fender width should be about a 10mm difference. If the Paselas run a little small, it seems like Pasela 28s would fit nicely under the small fender. So would the Ruffy Tuffys. I really want to use these fenders! They've been in my
