Look at the Front-Center dimension on the 58 cm Sam – clearly a typo. Also, the maximum tire size on Sam being 700x46, whereas on Homer 700x56 has got to be wrong... Good thing folks are flagging this – hopefully Riv can do a correction?
Now, for the functional differences between Homer, Sam, and Atlantis – increasing tire size and load capacity?.. - Max "when did I ever start paying attention to details?" in A2 On Sunday, May 27, 2018 at 8:15:01 AM UTC-4, Bob Lovejoy wrote: > > I do think there are are typos and/or oddities in the geometry charts, > though, who knows, maybe with certain center pull brakes 55mm is possible. > I think you are certainly right about the Tektro sidepulls though.
