How far is it from the sides of tire to the chainstays, seatstays and
forks? 1cm? Less?
Could it be a mounting bolt head on the inside of the fender rubbing as the
tire goes around?
Look at the each bolt head while spinning the tire to see if it makes
contact anytime during its rotation.

I know there are two schools of thought on this. Was wondering what Riv
peeps like with these bikes.
I have Sugino cranks and some stock RBW cassette. All stock on the Sam.
1. Should I swap it early, or ride it till the cassette is trashed and then
get a new 'sette along with a chain?
2.
That 700x38 is crazy tempting. This is a good day for lovers of tires.

As Grant has pointed out for rims, you can only wear them down to a certain
limit, so the worst case is a rim that has the absolute minimum sidewall
thickness and will be worn out the first time you brake. Adding a little
extra sidewall thickness will greatly increase the lifespan, while adding

My opinion (you'll get others on this) is to swap out the chain early
