The curved arm comes to rest on the centerpull post, and that's all the opening you get. I have to force my 38 mm Pari-Motos through if they're fully inflated. Narrow "thinline" Koolstop pads give you a little more wiggle room for the tire, but they're long enough to hit the fork. Koolstop "cross" pads are short enough to clear the fork, but they're thicker so it's probably a wash. I don't know if other decent centerpulls, like MAFAC Raids or Dia-Compes open wider. They do have better fender clearance than R559s. If you attach the fender to the boss on the bottom of the Mark's rack, I doubt the R559 will be able to bend the nose as easily. Use a screw with a counter-sunk head to minimize intrusion under the fender. My rack is mounted low enough that I used a screw from a SPD cleat, it fits perfectly and is nearly flush on the inside. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
