Re: [RBW] Re: Sam Hillborne Caliper vs Canti

[Brenton Eastman]

John, I believe mine is also a 2017 and similar to Tim I do not have any clearance issues. I do need to deflate a bit for install/removal due to brake pads. I’m in Portland as well if you ever wanna link up and get tire-nerdy in person. Also happy to share pictures.  On Jun 18, 2024, at 11:13 AM, Tim Bantham <tba...@gmail.com> wrote: John, my Sam is a 2017 model designed around side pulls. I am riding 44mm Rene Herse Snoqualmie Pass on Velocity Quill rims. Paul Racer brakes. There is plenty of clearance for the tires front and rear but I do have to deflate the tires a bit to get them out. It's been a non-issue for me and the Sam is great with these tires!

I'm under the impression that earlier Sams (like my 2017, 58cm) do not accept as fat a tire as the newer models (2018 onward)? My use case is trying to figure how fat a knobby I can install for an upcoming offroad trip. Some say a 43mm wide knob is all that the frame will accept, while the Riv site itself says 45mm tires fit - albeit not necessarily a knobbed tire.  for the record, I'm on Velocity Dyad rims. And my Sam is designed around side pull brakes, but I had canti posts installed so have more room in that respect. Thanks for any info you may have.

My 57cm Sam with tektro side pulls and 700c Velocity Dyad hoops clears a 47 teravail, 48 Rene herse, and 50 gravel king. Not sure how much bigger you’d need.  On Saturday, April 13, 2024 at 11:36:44 PM UTC-7 bcu...@cullensfoods.com wrote: Would also love to know this exact question!
