[RBW] Re: Anyone running Hetres + 50mm Berthouds on a Saluki or other 650B Riv?
Have the Hetres on my Bleriot - awesome tires, nothing faster for
gravel and ruff roads. I have the V.O. Zepplins with the Dia-compe 750
center pulls ( these brakes work and look great - a great deal for the
price) and I have a V.O. Carrier front rack. It was a little beyond me
to install all this properly myself - got a great bike mechanic to do
the work and he did a great job. Good clearance with a classic
French bike look - I got exactly what I wanted in a bike setup.

Re: [RBW] Re: Anyone running Hetres + 50mm Berthouds on a Saluki or other 650B Riv?
My Bleriot has the 45mm Honjos + CDLV tires. Plenty of room with that setup,
but I haven't bothered to try sticking Hetres in there.
Bleriot (old setup, but with fender/tire combo described above):

[RBW] Re: Anyone running Hetres + 50mm Berthouds on a Saluki or other 650B Riv?
I tried with a Bleriot and Saluki (50mm Berthouds). Front fits fine. Rear does not (brake bridge won't allow enough clearance). I second the Zeppelins.

[RBW] Re: Anyone running Hetres + 50mm Berthouds on a Saluki or other 650B Riv?
I have 50mm fluted Honjos on the bike now, and the fender line is perfect with CdlVs: http://www.flickr.com/photos/25671...@n02/4156647923/ The Protovelo is a custom from Mark Nobilette, built to resemble the geometry of a Saluki, but its different in small ways (lugs) and maybe larger ways (the seat stay bridge looks rather low to me). Of course, this bike is a great candidate for the Pari-Moto, which I have on order. But wouldn't it be fun to run some fatter Hetres in there!? I have them, and Im going to see if they fit - if not they'll go on another bike. Maybe I'll have to buy another bike to fit them :) Here's where they say 50mm Berthouds are preferable on the Herse site: http://www.renehersestore.com/servlet/the-144/Berthoud-650b-x-50mm/Detail But, of course, their bikes are built for the Hetre.

I have more height than I thought I did - but the Honjos do come down
