Patrick Moore claims to have a 5mm spacer + a 3/32" cog on a hub. Assuming
his story is accurate, that's a stack up of 7.38mm
Wesley said "put another cog on there", to which Patrick Moore said there
would be no room for the chain.
8-speed Shimano cassette cogs are 1.8mm thick, and the
My understanding of this stuff is the r559 works for 650b conversions that
started with short-reach calipers. Ram came with medium-reach and need a
rally long arm to reach 650b rims. I don't think r559 or Medium Racer
will do it, the long Racers might.

You would probably need Paul Racers, or some other long reach caliper like
the tektro r559 (which is on major sale at velo orange right now i think).
The medium racers would theoretically fit 700c rims on the ram.
Sounds like a good plan Max. I feel like I tend to get caught up 'chasing

Thanks to everyone who chimed in and for the couple of people that sent me private messages. I really appreciate your thoughts and experience.You’ve convinced me to give a 650b conversion a try. Since I plan to ride mostly without much of a load the Ram might actually be the better option to begin

I could indeed get a second cog into the place of the spacer but
there'd be no room for the chain.
No, good thought, but you'd need 5 mm more of space for: big cog + spacer +
small cog; then lockring. As it is, the big cog and small cog would have to
butt up against each other; no room for
Ah. Can you not remove the 5mm spacer? That should be enough room for a
second cog, IMO.

Not mine, said by seller to be a 2012 model. I have a 5 mm spacer, then the
3/32" cog, and then the lockring threads.
Good to know that the caliper (again, list, almost vertically atop the
rotor at top dead center, but actually offset a cm or two forward) can
accommodate a bit of fore/aft axle
Hey Patrick,
My recollection of my monocog was that the freehub had room for three cogs.
I think there were spacers on the hub that covered up most of the free hub
- remove the locking and you can do adjust the spacers as necessary. If
yours is the same, then you could just keep that wheel and
Hi Justin,
FWIW, the April 28 email newsletter featured a 60cm web special platy with
2.3" Teravail Ehlines. Will said: "It clears easily, although I wouldn't go
any bigger. I suspect these tires are measured knob to knob, because
calipers showed them as closer to 2.1 than 2.3. Still good!"
Reinventing anachronistic technology at 100X the price. Wish I could afford
it!

I would say it isn’t likely. I have the Soma Cazadero 700x50mm on my wife’s

I’m so glad to hear this. Although, I have to tell you something crazy - I knew you were back on your bike - how ? - I live in Michigan, remember? Because the other day a guy I know in NYC sent me a pic. He was out riding and saw a Betty Foy in the wild. It was gray, the rider obscured from view,
YES! Took a long while but I finally brought my bike to Nomad Cycles in
Queens and Damon was able to 1) free my seized stem, and 2) give the bike a
proper tune-up in a few short days!
I'm finally riding with the customary Rivendell high stem style and I gotta

Ooh, a deeper look through the Mone website I just found a good example and

No specific experience mounting that combo but I can tell you that 2.25"
tires on Cliffhanger rims, for me, measured 60mm. If you've got calipers,
you could check the spacing between tubes and get an idea from that.

I know it's beyond the official max tire size but wondering if anyone has
experience with big ol' tires on your Platy. Specifically, a 29'er 2.25
