Re: [RBW] Re: Widest tire fit on Homer Hilsen?

2021-02-03 Thread Steve Cole 

Hi,  I ride a Toyo AHH with Rene Herse Barlow Pass (700cx38) with fenders. 
 I doubt you could go any larger with fenders and the 38 wide runs smoothly 
and holds the road well.  Hope that helps.

Hadn't thought of Rene Herse tires. Like the WTB and Gravel King 
suggestions too, thanks everyone. I'm dreaming of a warm spring ride while 
riding my fatbike in the snow covered Minnesota mountains, er hills.

My size 67 AHH fits Rene Herse Snoqualmie Pass tires (700 x 44) just fine. 
 I did notice that after many miles the rear tire grew a little in size due 
to slightly higher PSI and greater load than the front, and became a 
tighter fit between the chain stays, so at that point I swapped the front 
and rear tires with each other and all good clearance-wise until they are 
worn out completely.   Currently running Hurricane Ridge 700 x 42 knobbies 
and really loving them.  The size and fit of 700 x 42 knobbies on the AHH 
really feels dialed in.

Re: [RBW] Re: Widest tire fit on Homer Hilsen?

2021-02-01 Thread Ben Miller 
I had an early Waterford AHH size 65. It maxed out at 38x700c tyres. In 
fact, I ended up parting ways with it because of that. I did really try to 
get Bruce Gordon Rock n Roads to fit, but it wasn't even close. I think I 
would have kept to if could have. 

The problem was the seats stays weren't dimpled. So it might have just been 
that particular frame, though I don't really know. I did inquire with a 
frame builder about dimpling them, but was told it was too close to the 
bridge that it would probably ruin the frames structural integrity.
