I ran 650b Cliffhangers with 43mm Panaracer Gravel King slicks for a bit on an AHH. No issues, but I wouldn't be confident going with anything skinnier.
On the wheelset, I personally prefer handbuilt wheelsets but I would have no heatburn running Deores with straight gauge spokes. I'd probably grease and adjust the hubs before first use, and de-tension/re-tension the machine built wheel. --Ed C. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
