Assuming I'm looking at the same unsold listing on eBay, seller notes it'll fit 38mm, which means it's a larger clearance version - it looks like it based on the photos, I think. I'd wager if it fits WTB Horizons, which it likely will, that Paul Racers (advertised 67mm max reach) won't be long

thanks all for such helpful replies!! I should have noted that I will be doing a 650b conversion, as I have the paul racer long reach brakes, and 650b wheels with WTB horizons already mounted. if any of you guys/gals are on instagram, user @shredportals has a raw steel Rambo with long reach

There were at least a couple versions were clearance was different. Later ones had more clearance. I have a Redwood (less fancy/expensive Ram, supposedly similar/identical in most non-cosmetic aspects) - fits Compass Barlow Pass tires (~37mm actual). Would definitely fit 32mm plus fenders.

Andy, that's 62 cm center-to-center (64 center-to-top) right? Might be worth noting for OP that Riv uses the CTT measurement in their charts, and that CTC measurement is roughly ~2cm smaller. On Tuesday, October 18, 2016 at 8:15:45 AM UTC-4, ascpgh wrote: > > > Adam, > > I have a first

Yes, the comfort is incredible even with 28's! And the Rams are easier to pedal down the road than Sams and Bleriots, according to my experience. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop
