I'm going to run my Schwalbe Ones in a 28 and a second set with a 32 file
tread. This way I can get some grip and clearance if I need it. Thanks
for all of your feedback and for saving me the tinkering time, which I have
far too little of these days.

As a data point, I’m currently running H+Son TB14s, Compass Barlows (38s), and
Paul Racers on my Roadini. My front caliper acts as a tire wiper when climbing
out of the saddle on a wet, gritty road. The noise makes me wish I had bought
“Bon Jons” instead...
The front wheel is also a squeeze to
My ‘83 Trek is theoretically the same brake reach as a Roadini, and I ran
Tektro 539’s for a while. 35mm Paselas on CR18 rims were very tight for me
without those brakes. Closer than I was comfortable with, while the original
single pivot Dia Compes fit no problem, and probably could have taken
Thanks everyone. I am running Tektro 539s and some Mavic CXP33 rims. They
are my bling wheels with CK hubs. I'm currently running some Schwalbe Ones
in a 28 for my roadie setup.
I'm fine without running a 38, and I agree, it makes little sense to put it
to the limit especially with muck
It was Bill, in Westchester NY, who ran 38mm Barlow Pass tires on A23
rims: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/rbw-owners-bunch/ok0QSEfKek4/1hMw_M5PCgAJ
You might wanna chat with him to see if he'd recommend 38's or not. Very
tight clearances, as you can see in his great pic's.

On Sunday,
Agree with the others--fitting a 38 will largely be dependent on 1) the
brake clearance and 2) actual size of the mounted tire.
Realistically, there isn't THAT much difference between a 35 and a 38 and
if you need more tire than that, you're probably at or exceeding the limits
of what the
Hey Dave,
What rim will you be using? And on that rim, at the pressure you expect to
ride, any idea of the width/height of the Gravel King?
I have a 61 Roadini, running Bon Jon Pass EL tires with tubes at 42ish lbs
on A23 rims (18mm internal), with Paul Racer *Medium *center pulls. There

Oh right, there's my Roadini! Awesome bike, I'm glad you're getting so much use
out of it.

This is a perfect example of why this model didn't sell well. We're Riv Riders,
we ALWAYS want more tire clearance!

Remember that Roadinis have wonderfully comfortable, flexible forks that
make them pretty exceptional gravel bikes for what they are... but that
also means that you may want to stick closer to the advertised clearance
(28 with/35 without fenders, remember) if you're heavy enough to really put
A set of 38mm Panaracer Paselas on Velocity A23 rims cleared the frame but
I had issues with standard caliper brakes on the front. Due to the
geometries involved and how the brake mounting bolt goes through both
caliper arms, the tire has clearance at the fork but hits the brake on the
front
