This should be a fun thread. My 2015 Sam 55 Cm has a measured SOH of 830mm with 700x42 Conti SpeedRide tires, unloaded. That is not the max tire. It came from Riv with Conti TourRide 700x48 tires, and if I had not wanted fenders, I could have probably fit something even bigger.
It has a Rivendell listed SOH of 833mm. Tire not listed, but max tire size listed at 700x44. It has a Bikeinsights.com computed SOH of 833mm with 700x46 tires listed. I also have a Riv geometry chart that includes a 56 cm Sam with SOH listed at 834mm for a max tire of 700x45. Since I rotate my tires annually, and then reset my odometer over a measured course, I can tell you that two supposedly identical tires of the same brand/model can have a difference in height of 5.2mm (At least. That’s just what I have had to reset the odometer for). Figure that half of that could make its way into SOH. And that is at a constant tire pressure of 70 psi. When I went to 50 psi for ride quality, I had to reset the odometer again, though not by nearly as much. So for my Sam, actual standover height is not just a function of frame geometry but also tire size, tire brand, tire pressure and random manufacturing tolerances. I just use 830 mm. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
