Re: [RBW] Cliffhanger alternatives?

2022-12-15 Thread Patrick Moore

FWIW, I have been happily riding 72 mm (actual; labeled 3"/76 mm) tires
(tubed and tubeless) on (non-tubeless) Alex 24 mm OW (again, OW, so
internal width probably what, 20 mm?) rims (with, tubless, a lot of Stan's
tape) and a cupful of OS Endurance in each tire. 13 psi. Works fine, as did
the 1.95s on 19 mm OW (13 mm IW) rims 30 years ago at 28 psi.

As with derailleur specs, I think that real world workability extends much
further than manufacturers' specs.

Re: [RBW] Cliffhanger alternatives?

2022-12-14 Thread Den John

Halo components in the UK do some wide rims for rim brakes in 26", 27.5" 
and 29". 
Their SAS is 26 or 27.5" and 30mm internal width. 
Their T2 is 29" and 26mm internal width.
I think they have some other models too. 

I have the SAS 27.5" on my single speed MTB. I was worried they'd feel 
heavy (760g) but not so far. They did squeal a bit because the braking 
surface needs to bed in, otherwise no problems.
Currently running 2.8" WTB Rangers with tubes. Not tried tubeless setup yet 
with these. I like the Rangers a lot in that size, but seems like they are 
getting hard to find, at least here in the EU.

Cheers,
Johnny

 So if you want Cliffhangers on your Susie, no need to worry about the

This just reminded me ...  I scored some 27.5x2.8" WTB Rangers the other

Thanks for the chart Laing!

Deore's and many others clear 2.8" G Ones on a 650b Cliffhanger on the Gus 
just fine. I guess I get some leaves in between the tire and the cable 
sometimes, but that happens with all rim brakes IME.

The Motolites technically cleared, if I set them up very close to the rim 
so that the arms were as vertical as possible. But it was too close for 
comfort, and I did hear some rubbing occasionally, but not sure what was 
deforming to cause it ...

Re: [RBW] Cliffhanger alternatives?

2022-12-13 Thread Brian Turner

Paul brings up an excellent point. If you plan on running the max tire size on your Gus, just make sure the brake you use will clear it. I had already purchased MotoLites for mine before even considering a tire size. Ended up going with 2.5” Ehlines, which turned out to clear the brakes by maybe 1cm. I doubt I’d feel comfortable with any less clearance just due to the chances of picking up mud and rocks and sticks on chunky treads. Of course, this says more about the limitations of certain brakes than it does tires.

Re: [RBW] Cliffhanger alternatives?

2022-12-13 Thread Paul Clifton

Richard,
I run 2.8" G-ones on Cliffhangers on my Gus without any problems. I don't 
think the frame would take a bigger tire, and v-brakes almost certainly 
won't. I already had to Swap the Paul Motolites for Deores to clear the 
2.8" G-ones.

So if you want Cliffhangers on your Susie, no need to worry about the rim 
width being a limiting factor.

Hi Scott. Right now thinking 2.6” Maxxis Recons. Possibly Teravail Ehline 2.5” but I read they really are more like 2.25”. I’ve owned true “plus” bikes before & ran 2.8”-3.0” tires on 30-45mm wide rims with success. Not sure I want to go that big. Not a lot to choose from in rim brake rims.Sent from my iPhoneOn Dec 13, 2022, at 10:42 AM, 'Scott Luly' via RBW Owners Bunch wrote:

Re: [RBW] Cliffhanger alternatives?

2022-12-13 Thread 'Scott Luly' via RBW Owners Bunch

Richard, what width tire are you wanting to run on your new Gus, 2.8?
I'm getting some Cliffs built for my new Gus, and I plan on running 2.6 to
begin with and like having the option to run 2.8 tires. 2.6 is within
Velocity's recommended rim width. I think one could safely go outside of
"recommended" tire width and run a 2.8 on a Cliff. It's .1 per side wider. It's
not like going from a 1.9 to say a 2.8.
I find a decent selection of 2.6 tires out there, 2.8 not so much. Have you got
a good 2.8 in mind? Do tell. I'd like to look into it. I wouldn't hesitate to
run 2.8 on my Cliffs, whenever they show up on my door step...
Also, please share what shakes out in your BB search for your Gus.
Best,
Scott in about to get very cold Montana

[RBW] Cliffhanger alternatives?

2022-12-13 Thread Richard Rose

2.5"-2.6" tires seem to be at the very upper limits for the venerable 
Cliffhanger. Is anyone aware of a 700c  rim brake rim that is a bit wider? 
I have not found one.
