Careful there. That's not exactly what I said. Laing said he wanted a stripped down roadbike that took 38 or 44 tires. Steve Palinscar responded by recommending that Laing buy a Roadeo. I responded to Steve's recommendation that a Roadeo "does not take 38 or 44 tires". In one sense, I was wrong. If the question was "Does a Roadeo allow you to use EITHER 38mm OR 44mm tires?" then you've shown the answer is yes. If the question is "Does a Roadeo give me the freedom to run my choice of 38mm or 44mm tires?" then the answer is no.
It's cool that your Roadeo takes 38s, but I would bet a dollar that your Roadeo can't take 44mm tires, and that's all I intended. Please post photos of the closest clearance spots on your Roadeo with 700x38 tires, if you don't mind. What width rims are you running?
