I can' wait to get my Bombadil going . . . but I'm waiting on some crank width info as the Bombadil's chainstay clearance is tighter than I expected. I'm hoping to use a TA Carmina in 185mm, but finding the correct BB size appears to be trial and error. I need lower Q cranks . . .like my Zephyrs. . . so I need to find the bare minimum that'll work with 22/34/46 rings. I thought of putting them on the Bomba, but I don't think the 122.5 BB is going to allow the arms to clear the stays. A little dent on each chainstay would help :)
2" tires are fine for me too for off-road . . . I'm trying some Michelin XC AT's that REI is selling currently for $18 a tire. For on road I'm trying some Kenda Kwik Roller EZ's in 700x45. These are relatively light at 610 grams with a folding bead and Iron Cap wall to wall protection. ------------------------------------ When I saw the rubber tips in the photos of the Bombadil . . I thought of hiking pole walking tips . . . who knows. -------------------------------------- Dave, Regarding your Tubus racks . . .you may already be aware of this, but Tubus makes rack extensions to get the rack up and back a little bit for more clearance. http://www.thetouringstore.com/TUBUS/Fit%20Solutions/FIT%20SOLUTIONS%20PAGE.htm --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
