Rat Trap Pass

[Thomas McCause]

Alright, my curiosity has finally gotten the best of me.  After seeing the FS post for the XOXO with the RTPs, I really want to try them on my 60cm frame of the same make.

Anyone have a set they are looking to pass on?  Before I splurge on new, I thought I would look here.  If they are gathering dust, let me know.  I also have some parts and such to trade.

Hello Thomas,

Sorry, I don't have an extra pair of RTP for you. But I'm not sure they would fit on the XOXO, looks like the max tire width is 1.75".

 That is the max width with fenders...

both Handsome Cycles and others have shown it possible, I'm currently running the Vans X Cult 26x2.1 with plenty of extra space, but was wondering about a lighter tire.  

see the attached pics of the success of others!

What are the wheel qr skewers n that bike? Just curious.

It does look like there would be enough room for the 2.3 RTP. Do you know which rims they are using? Seems to me they should be Cliffhangers for that wide of a tire, but they say they build the bike with Dyads.

Thanks, 

JohnS

Reginald — Those look like Ringle Holey Skewers to me... or reproductions. These are very cool old skewers and unfortunately they are quite expensive on the used market.
