Hey hey.
Hopefully this is the best place to ask this question..
I’ve got a bike I built as my partner’s runaround.
It’s a 90s? Steel Ribble that I got without much info on it.
I made some assumptions and built it up with 622 wheels / 700 x 25 tyres.
She’s been riding it for a year or so, and it ticks the right boxes for her.
But there’s an issue that the clearance on the rear brake bridge is much too tight. It’s a small frame, so I’m wondering if it was meant for 650b or similar.
I think I should get someone like Varohna to raise it up slightly?
But seems prudent to double check with the LFGSS hive first.
Is this the right solution?
Is it quite a simple and straightforward change?
No grand issues with clearance elsewhere on the bike.
