+1. I run the Compass EL 38mm tires on my Hilsen (with full fenders) and they are fantastic! On Wednesday, October 8, 2014 12:45:41 PM UTC-4, Madam Xylene wrote: > According to Riv web info, AHH can take 38's with fenders. I'd go with > Compass 38's. Eileen > -- You received this message

According to Riv web info, AHH can take 38's with fenders. I'd go with Compass 38's. Eileen -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to rbw-owners-bu

You can order 58cm 650b AHHs from RBW new. I think the wait time is shorter than usual right now. I also think a 58 was posted on the list recently. I suspect a 60 Saluki is going to be a hard to get item. Since Legolass can still be ordered and single top tube Bombadils have been made, perhaps

Just a note, the reach of Paul Racers is 57-67mm, and it looks like your pads are already at the bottom of the slot. Tektro r559/Silvers have a reach of 53-73 mm--only 6 mm more than the Racers. 700c to 650b is 622 mm - 584 = 38 mm difference (diameter), 19 mm radius. Your current reach is ~60 mm

well SET up, not at up... And to answer your conversion question my experience with doing it to a '82 Trek is that it's definitely possible and a fun project but for a daily rider the small compromises involved in the conversion degraded the riding experience over time. On those Trek's I'd sti

That AHH is sharp looking, I love the color. I can't say I blame you on the desire for 42's all around... They feel 'right' to me as well. Can't you get 38's on the AHH? Maybe the Soma C-Lines or one of the new Compass tires? Regardless they are both great looking and well at up bikes... Very

I have lately been coming to the conclusion that I want to standardize on a wheel tire combo that sadly doesn't work with my 59cm 700c Homer. I have been riding Hetre ELs all summer on my rando bike (Toussaint) that is a near sizing copy of my Homer, but is low trail and 650b. Now both bikes are
