In photos of what I think are later-run, Toyo-built Hilsens, it appears that the chainstays have a "dimple" on the inside at about the point the tire passes through. Or maybe that's an optical illusion? My 59cm AHH, which the original owner told me was from an early batch out of Waterford, does not have such dimples on the inside of the chainstays. When I mounted a Schwalbe Marathon XR 42-622 / 700x40c tire on a Synergy Velocity rim, it did not clear in the rear -- and by RBW's published specs, it should have. I've got 37-622 / 700x35c of the same tires in there now, and they fit fine (and work great), but a 40 or 42 would never fit on mine. Is it possible that some of the very early AHH's are different in this regard than later ones? -- Forrest (Iowa City)
P.S. I know there are no quality differences to speak of between Toyo and Waterford Hilsens. I just wondered if the design of the chainstays (and thus the tire clearance) evolved ever-so-slightly from the first AHH's to later ones. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
