I'm building up a bike.
it's a road frame , old steel and pretty weird.
1" ahead, solping geometry , vertical dropouts and 135mm rear spacing.
I can fit 33 mm tires, the back has room for more but the fork very barley clears.
I have to get some break and asked in the other general and was told I should get long reach calipers.
can somebody explain the need for longerange to me ?
shouldn't the reach correlate with the distance of the brake fixture hole and the rim , not the tire widt.
as it's a road bole , shouldn't standart brakes be fine ?
the pic is the same bike , but not mine
