My QB is one of the 650b-wheeled versions from the last run of silver models and it rocks with Hetres, and rolls with PariMotos. B-) Steve On Mon, Jan 20, 2014 at 1:56 PM, Philip Williamson philip.william...@gmail.com wrote: I do like fat tires on the Quickbeam! The rear axle position

That 650B QB sounds interesting; I'd love to try one of those sometime. Does it yield a bit more clearance, then, in terms of potential toe overlap? --Tom On Thu, Jan 23, 2014 at 8:57 AM, Steven Frederick stl...@gmail.com wrote: My QB is one of the 650b-wheeled versions from the last run of

35 Paselas are what I ride on my new-to-me QB, and I like 'em a lot on the road . . . though I will go fatter still for some trail/levee riding (almost totally level) in the near future. --Tom (Miami, where the weather for winter riding is about perfect right now) -- You received

In the warm season, my Q has 28 or 32mm tires roadish tires. This winter I put on a BG RocknRoad 43mm front and Schwalbe Cross 38mm rear. These have been great for winter commuting, except for the toe overlap. The overlap bothers me. The 43mm front tire requires deflation to be removed

Good choice. I've only run Pasela TG 700 x 35 on my SimpleOne and enjoyed the ride. I use the same tires on my Atlantis. I grew to like the Pasela and Pasela TG when it could be bought cheaper than these days. Those and the Schwalbe Marathon Racer fit the bill for me in the budget 700c

I do like fat tires on the Quickbeam! The rear axle position becomes an important consideration, though, and you find that darumas are from the devil. If we ever get any rain in California again, I'll see how the metal fenders fit over the 37mm Ocean Air / Soma C-lines. It should be fine.
