I can now confirm that Snoqualmie Pass (44mm) tires fit just fine on my fenderless Sam with Tektro R559 sidepulls. I hope that is helpful for some of you current or future Sam owners considering these tires.

I only had time for a 10 min test ride but can tell they're lighter and certainly more cush than the 35mm marathons they replaced. I weigh about 190; they're inflated to 50 psi, which is likely almost 5lbs over optimum. Speaking of optimum: Not to start another 'optimum pressure' storm, but Jan's article on minimum tire pressure attracted a commenter who created this cool Excel spreadsheet to calculate optimum pressure. If you're interested, just go here and download the spreadsheet (if you don't make a local copy, others who access it online may overwrite you and vice-versa): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15nT3Q2Cnk6-2HbRSpPngFEoR5QnLTQZdlzofzC_mLTY/edit#gid=0 Tom -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
