Your 650B convered Redwood (was: Re: [RBW] Roadini - 650b on bigger sizes?)

Jim, The Roadini would likely clear 42mm 650b tires are the max - fenders would probably fit but would need some mods at the fork crown. Guessing Tektro brakes would work. The Redwood has more clearance for fenders and tires - 47mm 650b tires fit. I have 58m VO fenders - though those only fit

I just saw this. Some very experienced recreational -- ie, non-pro, but the sort who do PBP and other brevets -- say that tubulars are simply more cushioning at a given width than equivalent wired-ons. Some also say that they are, all equal, faster. Tubular are certainly -- all equal -- lighter.
