A couple of years ago I was building up a very pretty Baylis that some folks
may remember. I had a new set of wheels all decked out with High flange C
Record hubs and these beautiful Delta brakes (hopefully Dale allows stories
about such adventures even if they involve off topic components?). They
were adjusted as high as I could get them and the tires barely cleared them.
I just thought of the "Fag Paper Clearance" fans in Britain and tossed the
bike into the back of the station wagon and headed for the country where I
loved to ride.
The bike, which was fine being pushed around the shop, was a bit different
when my 200# was suddenly on it...The wheels wouldn't move! Back into the
car it went and a new set of wheels later it was fine. Here is a link to
what a brake clearance should not look like!
