[RBW] max tire on 650b cheviot w/o fenders?

2015-11-20 Thread Philip Kim
Anyone know what the max tire is for 650b cheviot without fenders? Just by pictures it seems like it may fit 650bx48's. I just ordered dead stock of Cheviot from Riv, and I know the 700 wheeled version can fit 45 smart sams. Is there a similar tire that could fit on the cheviot? I know Bruce G

sorry Bill, you're wrong. You want the 16t cog, that's why you're doing this. Where you want 5" steps is right there around that 16t ring. When you get below 50" 8-9" steps are sufficient - besides, you'll have 4" steps below 50 inches on your bailout ring. This means something. I made a
