I have Noodles on 3 bikes: a 700c LHT, a 26" LHT, and Rawland Nordavinden. The bars on the Nordavinden are relatively narrow (42cm?), which seems to work very well with the low-trail (33mm) geometry of that bike: they are absolutely comfortable over any distance I've managed so far. I have large

[RBW] Re: Rosco v2 has landed!

That's a nice-looking set-up – perfect as a commuter, it seems. Which tires do you have on it?.. Will it fit Compass Snoqualmie Pass (38mm, I believe) AND fenders?.. What about Bruce Gordon Rock'n'Roads (45mm, I believe)? Also, would you mind measuring the distance from the back of the saddle

Re: [RBW] Re: Rosco v2 has landed!

The tires I have on it now are Compass Snoqualmie Pass, which are labeled at 700x44, and though I haven't measured them yet, I suspect they're closer to 40mm as installed on the narrow-ish Open Pro rims I have for now. So the answer is they will fit Snoqualmie Pass and fenders, though there are a f

Very nice! How do the Snoqualmie Pass tires work on Open Pro rims? I know such a thin rim isn't ideal, but was there any squirrellyness? I have also have a pair of parts bin Open Pro wheels on my Hilsen and would like to get some of the wider, supple Compass tires eventually. Eric On Sunday, O

They feel fine on the road - I guess I'm running them at a slightly higher psi than I usually run my Compass tires - not squirrelly or floppy taking hard corners.

Be serene, acushla. Open Pros are perfectly wide enough for 40 mm tires. Breathe deeply in relief and gratitude. I rode thousands of miles with 2" tires on much narrower rims -- 19 mm outside to outside, with nary a fall or slip. I rode 65mm actual Big Apples on 24 mm outside to outside rims, at s

Not quite the answer I was in search of. I forget what the issue is, exactly, but there's something to do with sidewalls that's a concern if not outright hazard when you're so far beyond the design recommendation. But, your answer has inspired me to consult the Great Oracle Google, and here's

Re: [RBW] Re: Rosco v2 has landed!

You can add to your list of possible and theoretical problems when using too wide a tire on too narrow a rim, that there is at some (not known to me) point the theoretical danger that the overfat tire may overpower the rim wall and break it. But at 20 psi, I don't think -- "think" -- that this is a
