[RBW] Re: Rom/Ram tire suggestions with 35mm hammered Honjos
I know that there is the recommendation that the tire width and fender width should be about a 10mm difference. If the Paselas run a little small, it seems like Pasela 28s would fit nicely under the small fender. So would the Ruffy Tuffys. I really want to use these fenders! They've been in my closet for more than a year! I just hope the ride is not too harsh (compared to my CdlVs and Pasela 32s on the Quickbeam, which will be swapped for Jack Browns soon).

Hi, It seems your choice of brake will affect the the width of tire the bike can accept. If you get tektro R538 brakes (or the big mouth at Riv), the bike might be able to take up to 32mm. I run SKS P45s (the box section of the P35s can be a limiting factor) and can run up to pasela 32mm pretty tightly.

[RBW] Re: Rom/Ram tire suggestions with 35mm hammered Honjos
I have Honjo 35 mm smooth fenders on my 61 cm Romulus. Ruffy Tuffys work great with these fenders. The 30 mm 700c Grand Bois is a tight fit. Too tight from my perspective. During the summer I had the fenders off and ran Jack Brown Greens. No way those will work with the 35mm honjos and a shame as the Jack Browns have become my favorite tire. -JimD On Dec 17, 2008, at 12:52 PM, David Estes wrote: > whooo-hooo! > > On Wed, Dec 17, 2008 at 12:49 PM, Esteban wrote: > > Hi, Folks. > Got my new-to-me Romulus yesterday, and I have some slick skinny > (35mm) hammered Honjos sitting in my closet ready for a road bike.

I'm running IRC 30 mm Tandems, that measure eggzakly 28 mm on my Weinmann Concaves, under said 35-ers, and they look wunnerful. Hell, man, I'm running Honjo 45 mm 559 fenders over Specialized Turbo 559X21 (akchuwal) tires on my commuter and *those* look fine.

I used Ruffy Tuffies with SKS plastic fenders, the narrower square-sectioned ones. They fit fine. They're 35mm, according to the SKS website, which also says they'll fit a 28mm tire. http://www.sks-germany.com/sks.php?l=en&a=product&i=6409800121 --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

I ran ruffy tuffys with 35mm SKS fenders and they were fine... -Original Message- From: rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com [mailto:rbw-owners-bu...@googlegroups.com]on Behalf Of Esteban Sent: Wednesday, December 17, 2008 3:49 PM To: RBW Owners Bunch Subject: [RBW] Rom/Ram tire suggestions with 35mm hammered Honjos Hi, Folks. Got my new-to-me Romulus yesterday, and I have some slick skinny (35mm) hammered Honjos sitting in my closet ready for a road bike. I viewed the archives and found some information on tires that will fit the Ram/Rom with fenders. I like Panaracer Paselas 28 &32s in general, with the Tourguard, in particular. The Ruffy Tuffys are also an attractive tire at 27mm. So, is anyone running any of these three tires under 35mm fenders? The bike is a size 59cm (currently with 30mm Michelin dynamics). Right now I'm leaning toward Panaracer 28s, which might run a little smaller. I'm about 190, and have fatter tires on other bikes, so I'm not necessarily looking for a trail tire - this will be a road bike, and will take cross tires when the fenders are off down the line. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
