Looks pretty tight, but a nice bike that would probably be difficult to give up over to a few millimeters of rubber. Look at it this way... with only 3mm of clearance, it greatly limits the amount of debris that could actually lock up a wheel. How about some full bike pics? On Oct 27, 7:06

What about using something a bit smaller like a Challenge Paris Roubaix. I think those measure 29mm or so. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group. To post to this group, send email to rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com. To unsubscribe

Bobs, First, someone requested full monty pics. Here is an old set of this bike: http://www.flickr.com/photos/41563482@N06/sets/72157625808579123/ Since posting this set of pictures, the bike now wears a Selle AnAtomica saddle, new bar tape, and of course the new Tektros and Jack Browns.

If you're looking for something a smidgen smaller than the Challenge PRs, try the Grand Bois Cerf Green. While Compass Bicycles had them listed as 29mm, I've found that these fit my Colnago Master whereas the PRs didn't. Same wheel and pressure (Campagnolo Neutrons) and both sets of tires were

Well, you guys are right - - it's pretty tight. I'll ride some more, on rough pavement, and give you an updated report. But then again, old Cyclotourist has this going on: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cyclotourist/6818728245/ We'll see - Stay tuned. Max -- You received this

Wasn't the Road originally spec'd for 700 x 35c? 28c tiresw/fenders? Looks like your camera angle is from above and not showing the real clearance. Did Grant think it was ok? Sounded like you were at Riv and he saw it? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the
