Clearance Items

Fork install with re-furbished headset assembly.  An old toe strap comes in handy to hold the fork in place while the top bearings are setup...


 Tire clearance on the front was never a problem. Plenty and room to play nice with the brake - like 3 mm.


The rear was a different story.  The width is close at the chainstays but still workable with the axle at the very back of the dropouts.  The outside diameter of the tire was too much for the brake caliper arch.  

I added a spacer and a convincing tweak to create a little more space.  The caliper arch is now at or above the frame mounting.

 I'll take 2mm, thank you very much.
