Wheelsets seem to be piling up... Time to let this one go. I built it up a while ago and used it most recently to test out my Riv Redwood 650b conversion before I built up a nicer wheelset. This is a beater wheelset, and priced as such... 36h Alesa Rims - single wall - caveat: one spoke hole

I'll agree somewhat with Kieran here, in my experience with a Riv Redwood. The bike felt best with 700x35mm tires, but I'm thrilled that I've been able to transform it into an all-road machine, and will trade handling (only slightly noticeable) for the ability to run 48mm tires and fenders.

Hi John, I have a Redwood (less fancy Ram) - it fit 700x35c Paselas (36mm actual if I recall correctly). I think you might be able to squeeze in the SPEED Ride tire, though making no promises. The CROSS ride would definitely not fit as the knobs would make the tire taller than a road tread. I'd

Just to be clear, the Sugino crankset I linked to really is designed for a single chainring, but there is a slight shelf (? not sure of the term) on the inside of the spider for an inner chainring to sit. It doesn't come as far inboard as a regular double, but it is enough to keep the chainring
