Yep. I had an early Bomba and the Quasi-Motos were max cap for the frame. I had no plans to run fenders so it didnt matter to me, but if I had whacked a rim out of true...well the rubbing would commence.

I already had a Bleriot when I added the Bomba planning to use it more off-road. As it turned out I could never come to terms with the Bomba as MTB. For whatever reason I wrestled with it going up technical ascents. Tried a few different bar set ups with only minor improvement. That said it became just a beefed up version of the Bleriot. Ultimately I sold both and ended up on the All Rounder I have now. My impression? 650B arguably is the perfect All Round size. I rode my Bleriot very comfortably on pavement and pretty rough singletrack with Fatty Rumpkins. Did I need the extra "beefyness" of the Bomba...not really. Would I have liked a bit more clearance to run an optional full fat tire? Yep. When I looked at at the two bikes, I always kept wanting to mix them. The simpler frame of the Bleriot, the canti bosses of the Bomba, but with a bit more room. The All Rounder I'm on is pretty darn close, and I often wonder how it would feel with 650b. But with it's gobs of clearance, I can stick a full on 2.3 in there and bounce down the trail so the fun is all. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
