2020+ Ritchey Road logic Tire Clearance

Ha! The Collective is infiltrating us! Welcome!

I'm looking at my SRAM bike and my Shimano bike. It's pretty clear that the problem in fitting 30s on the Logic is the shape of my Shimano brake calipers, not the frame. the SRAM caliper has more lateral clearance. It's a valuable lesson and I would not have learned it without this thread. Thank you.

Hope it's been a happy journey! I think they ride really beautifully with a bigger volume tyre.

Thanks all for the kind welcome – I've had an account for years for trying to track down interesting frames, but never posted until now. With a topic like this, how could I not!

Yes as other have said thanks for the article that was a nice build

I have always considered trying one & I am coming up on time for a new build. After six years on Alloy I might go back to steel & specifically steel like this Ritchey. Not the newer oversized steel/Spirit tubing. I want something similar to steel like we use to ride with SL frames & I think this is the closest to those.

To be honest I always wonder why there are not so many more that ride these given the price is good, the build looks great, threaded BB, room for tires...
Really has me wondering at times

Here’s another very happy swisscross and Outback breakaway owner due to the raving reviews from the guys at tips/collective so big thanks for the inspiration and brilliant reviews

bumping this up for the rim brake road bike post that will take 30mm tires with regular callipers
