  • Wheel in + ruler = answer.

  • thanks for that.... i have to decide which ne to get built... will try with a 700 of another bike then

  • just stick some nice 700x32c tires and presto, you will not notice
    and yes you will need a deep drop brake

  • haev a set of schwalbe marathon plus 28c and tried a 700 with them on teh fork... fit will be fine me thinks.

    Re deep drop brakes - does anyone have any view on Tektro vs Alhonga?
