[RBW] Re: WTB: Nitto 32F mini front rack
Don't have one but can confirm it fits an Appa BUT..it fits better with cantilever brakes. The horizontal cable on v-brakes tends to interfere with the center strut on those racks.

[RBW] Re: Your preferred pressure for 60 mm tires for all-round riding?
As low as possible without pinch flatting. Usually that means 20-21psi (2.2-2.4” tires)) for me at 160lbs. Lots of rocks and sharp edges where I ride.

[RBW] Re: Your preferred pressure for 60 mm tires for all-round riding?
For what it's worth I usually pump my 55mm Fleecer ridges to 18psi front and maybe 22 rear. Probably bump that to 22 and 26 for very loaded touring. On a daily basis I carry more than most, a chess set and several books? Why not. I probably come in around 175-180 with clothes. My bike probably hovers at a minimum 50 lbs. On a Clem btw. Drop as low as 15 front 20 rear on unloaded MTB. Add more or ride smoother if constantly bottoming out rims I suppose.

[RBW] Re: Ramouillet max tire
You're right about the tire sizes that will fit but I don't think any completes sold with 32s unless it was a specific build Riv put together and posted on the website. Romulus was only sold as complete and came with 28 Roly Polys (maybe it was Ruffy Tuffys) and the stock Ram completes I've seen used same.

[RBW] Re: Ramouillet max tire
The Ram came as a complete with 32mm Panaracer Pasela tires. It will also fit fenders with this tire. Without fenders, the Pasela 1 1/2" fits easily. This applies to both the 622 and 559 rim editions, EXCEPT for the early orange batch that came in with the rear brake bridge in too low. The 622 converts nicely to 584 with bigger tires and the 559 can also run 571 wheels with smaller max tire sizes.
