You can set your brake up so the normal riding adjustment has the caliper barrel adjuster decently 'out' or unscrewed. Open brake QR, screw barrel adjuster 'in' to gain some clearance, then remove wheel, repeat for re-install. You'll have to try it out and see if it provides enough clearance

The Betty was originally designed as a droptube road bike, there isn't much you can do about the road brakes restricting fat-tire removal but deflate the tire. Heck I have this problem on my droptube custom with v-brakes because I spec'd a narrowish road fork..fat tires like lots of clearance!

Hi Joe, If you contact Greg Parker, he can get you a frame; the Sportifs are classy and classic-looking. While they are not designed for this w-i-d-e tire moment, they sure look like wonderful road bike frames that will accommodate tires suitable for randonneuring. It'd be great to see them

You *need* to wire the tail light from the headlight. If you do not, and you turn off the headlight, the tail light may burn out because it cannot absorb all the power of the generator. All modern LED headlights are designed to power the tail light through the head light and switch the tail
