Neat. That's good to know. What year frame? I know that my first generation, orange Ram with standard reach Ultegra brakes does not have room for fenders over its JB's, and we've pretty consistently heard that from others. But the brakes you mention came along later, so there might not be a lot of Rams that have them. Like the Rambouillet needed to be any more awesome!
But just to clarify something: when you say Silver brakes, you mean brakes like the Tektro Bigmouth 57's and not the Bigmouth 73's, right? I think the only brake called "Silver" (as opposed to Tektro) are the longer than standard reach 57-73 versions, and those never fit on the Rambouillet, did they? -Jim W.
