I've read a couple of people planning to run 48mm Oracle Ridge on the incoming Homers. Do you all have input from Riv that the new frames will fit this tire? I ask because that would definitely make the new frames more tempting.
My experience trying to run the 48mm Oracle Ridge (tubeless on Quills) on my girlfriends 2020 canti Hillborne was the fork was too narrow to clear the knobs. The inside tang on the fork crown rubbed with out of saddle climbing and the overall axle to crown up front and brake bridge in the back were not high enough for sufficient clearance. It looks like Sam and Homers use the same crown so curiosity has me wondering. On Tuesday, November 30, 2021 at 9:10:53 AM UTC-8 Matt Beecher wrote: > I have wheels with both of those rims.
