[RBW] Tires/Wheels for new Sam Hillborne
I've ridden 40 Mondials under sks fenders with no problems. They measure just a shade under 40. I did grind out the hole on the attachment bracket in the front to get the fender all the way up to the fork. Easy to do with a die grinder, Dremel or file. You have to bend the bracket over anyway. I prefer the Barlow Pass ELs over the Schwalbes. Silky smooth. John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Re: [RBW] Tires/Wheels for new Sam Hillborne
I have a 56 Sam with 37mm Soma New Express tires under longboards, and there's plenty more room. If the Marathons are really 3mm fatter, I'd think it would be fine. -Eli On Aug 6, 2013, at 8:56 PM, Mark Taintor marktain...@gmail.com wrote: I have a new 56 cm Sam that's going to be built up in the next week or so, and I've got a couple questions about tires and wheels for it: 1.

I know there's clearance for 40 mm tires on the Hillborne but don't know if that is with/without fenders. 2. Anybody ever put 650B wheels on a 56 Sam? Looking on the Riv website at the page for the Betty Foy, it says that the Betty and the Sam can take the same volume tires. The Betty mostly uses 650B wheels. As of now I'm planning on 700c wheels, but am intrigued with 650B. Thoughts? Thanks, Mark -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Yes, you can put 40mm Supremes under fenders. Have done it on both the original green Hillborne and my present blue. The newer bikes have enough room that I could easily put on 45mm tires and maybe even 50 if I was careful. (Which I am not, so won't). Can't help on the other part.

My wife has 700x40 supremes under longboards on her Atlantis and I've run them on my Ahh so you should be fine.
