I'd call a 2.5mm difference in BB height functionally the same. Would you tell someone they shouldn't run 172.5mm cranks on a Rivendell? Philip www.biketinker.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this

Just to be clear, y'all are talking about BB height. BB drop is how far below a line connecting the 2 hubs the center of the BB is (syntax?) This doesn't change with different tires. Having said that, is there no interest at all in buying my Ram ?!? Have to make room for my new Yuba Mundo
