For a couple of weeks I had used Avid single digit 7 v-brakes, with
650bx2.15 Almotion tires. Felt like there was just enough room for
fenders. Hence these brakes *won't* be an option for those wider tires you
want to use.
Now I'm running Avid Shorty Ultimate cantis.

would work better for you. If the handlebar is
too close, you have an option to use a longer stem. But if the frame
happens to be on the longer side, then there's no easy/clean option to

I had a chance to ride the small Boots when I visited the world HQ last
weekend. The bike was real fun. The design is natural evolution of Riv
