Yup. It¹s a piece of gravel picked up by the tire and rolled between the tire and the inner surface of the fender until it¹s spit out at the top. Happens to me much more often when it¹s hot out ‹ I assume because the hot tar on the road makes everything more sticky, so the tire¹s more likely to pick up stuff.

I put fenders on a friend's Waterford for him some years ago and the first time it made that noise I was riding next to him and he fairly levitated off the bike with a very alarmed "WHAT WAS THAT?!) holler. It was pretty funny... -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]on Behalf Of Beth Sent: Tuesday, June 29, 2010 3:34 PM To: RBW Owners Bunch Subject: [RBW] Velcro-ripping sound coming from fender area So everytime I ride (daily), inevitably at some point in my trip, I will hear a velcro-ripping sound that seems like it coming from under my SKS front fender. I always look to see if i just ran over something, a pile of leaves or whatever, but nada. Nothing seems to spit oout. Not that I would see it. My fenders are mounted close to the tire is it rubbing? Anybody else experience this phenomenon!? Can I make it go away?!! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
