Re: [RBW] Frame clearance between Ram and Cani-Rom the same?
Rocky, I believe it is possible to fender the Ram by going to the new Tektro R538 brakes with the added fender clearance. RBW's site has pics of the Rodeo set up that way. I think the Rodeo has a tad more clearance than the Rams did, although earlier (orange) Rams had a bit more than the newer (blue and green) ones did. I think I'm right on that. Depending on which Ram you have you might be able to do this by eliminating the front fender mounting tab and zip tie-ing it on. I have a green Ram and that spot is the tightest when fendering. Of course if you are wanting metal fenders the JB-Ram combo is probably out of the question with side-pulls of any flavor. Please share your experience if you decided to try this. I have been wanting to try this on on my Ram for some time now. Good luck, Clyde Canter On Fri, Dec 16, 2011 at 1:21 AM, Rocky B rivvyr...@gmail.com wrote: I would like my Ram to be able to fit Jack Brown tires AND fenders.

Re: [RBW] Frame clearance between Ram and Cani-Rom the same?
I have a Ram with those Tektro brakes, 35mm Schwalbe tires and aluminum fenders that measure 45mm. There is plenty of clearance and the ride is very nice. I have thought about changing out my tires for the 33.333mm JBs to give it that little bit extra room.

Re: [RBW] Frame clearance between Ram and Cani-Rom the same?
I would like my Ram to be able to fit Jack Brown tires AND fenders. Does anybody know if converting my Ram to a Canti-Ram allow me to run this tire/fender combination? It should work with plastic fenders--doubtful or tight in the rear with metal. I've run true 34s under SKS fenders on my canti-Rom (which is spec'd at 54mm virtual brake reach). The tight spot is under the rear brake bridge, which has a downward-facing boss that's a little proud of the bridge. I remember some early Rams were spec'd right at 57mm or slightly over, but I don't think that was very many. I'm kind of clumsy by nature, and the toe overlap frustrates me on bad days with big tires and fenders, too. Something to think about. Also, the rear stays on the canti-Rom were beefed up for the brakes. Something else to think about. Pretty sure the fork was/is the same, though. Have fun!

Before altering the frame, you might consider modifying the fenders. http://circlingbits.blogspot.com/2008/03/tight-squeeze-fenders-with-reacharound.html On Thu, Dec 15, 2011 at 10:21 PM, Rocky B rivvyr...@gmail.com wrote: I would like my Ram to be able to fit Jack Brown tires AND fenders.
