Et voilą!



As you can see, and as I thought, the clearance is too tight to make the Hetres practical on this frame. The only way I can get a decent amount of space between the rear tire and the chainstays is to have the axle all the way back or nearly all the way back in the dropouts. (With the wheel in the front of the dropouts and the tire at 55psi, it practically touches the frame.)



In front it's tight too, but feasible:



So Hetres will likely get socked away for my next conversion. But as long as I had them on, you know I had to take 'em for a spin. After riding the CLDVs for a week, the Hetres were positively zippy! But all was not peachy. Wouldn't you believe it, after a 4-mile jaunt to the bank I flatted half a block from my house! Here's the culprit, a tiny, arrowhead-shaped shard of glass:



These Hetres have some miles on them (maybe as many as 1000) so it's not a huge surprise, and it could just be rotten luck, but still it's hard not be a little disappointed. BTW, I don't fault Justin. I also gave them a thorough inspection when I opened the box this afternoon and I saw nothing to be concerned about. In fact, the tread was less worn than I was expecting. I think that shard would have cut through the rubber and casing even if the tire had been brand new.
