Re: [RBW] Re: 2021 Appaloosa thread

Michael - I am having mine built at RWB. They were out of the Appaloosa standard 48mm Shikoro tires and so they recommended 55mm Continental Contact Urban. I don't have the bike yet but given that RBW recommended those with fenders, I'd say 55mm should fit as long as it's not super knobby. I'd

What Doug said, it should be fine, Shimano rear derailers are usually good for pushing a couple teeth bigger than listed. I believe - this is math stuff I don't fully understand - some of the concern comes from if you're running a wide-range triple crank *and *a big cassette..at some point in
