[RBW] Fender Brands (Besides SKS) That Work On A Sam

[tc]

Hey everyone,
I'm interested to know what brands of fenders (besides SKS) you've 
successfully installed on a 700c Sam with Tektro R559 long reach brakes & 
Alex DM18 rims that come with the 'Complete' build.

I just spent the better part of today trying to install some 700c X 50 
Berthoud stainless steel fenders, but gave up because of front fender 
fitment issues ... didn't even get to the back.

The issues for me:

   - The fender curvature is too open/flat, pushing up against the 
   non-drive side brake arm, which forces that brake arm closed.  So, hat shoe 
   very slightly brushes the rim, with brakes open wide.  
   I did try to squeeze the fender sides together, but was not able to do 
   much good, and was scared of crimping them (I'd already slightly crimped 
   the back of the fender when testing the stay length, so didn't want to 
   force the issue).
   
   - The daruma bolt fender attachment point under the fork crown positions 
   the fender too high, again pushing the fender up against the underside of 
   the non-drive side brake arm.  If the fender wasn't already so close to the 
   tire I could've added another rubber washer on top of the fender to 
   effectively lower it.
   
   - The daruma bolt shipped with the fenders is very long ... too long.  
   Not wanting the end of the bolt dangling too close to the tire, I use a 
   bolt cutter to chop it to size, and ended up fowling the threads such that 
   I couldn't get the nut to screw on, no matter how much I filed and tried to 
   re-thread it.


So, looking for another brand of fender.  I prefer to keep the brakes, 
rims, and tires I have.  If I have to go with the SKS longboards I will, 
but I much prefer the look and sturdiness of metal fenders.  I hope someone 
has had success!

Thanks,
Tom

I would be interested in some albatross bars as well. I am doing a build for my

Looks like the AR is sold as it has disappeared.

To continue our sizing discussion here is my 56 Rambouillet. As you can see 
even with the same size frame and upslope, the shorter fork on the Atlantis 
makes the head tube much longer.

[RBW] WTB: Alabtross bars and MTB brake levers

I took the Albas off of my wife's Sam Hillborne and put Noodles on. She doesn't 
care for the Noodle bars (she very rarely rides, however) and I've put the 
Albatross on my Hilsen since I have two other bikes with Noodles (my weapon of 
choice.) I've been riding them this week and kind of like them, so I need 
another set for her bike.

Well, but you can start with Peter Jon White's instructions on saddle
positioning, in his bike fitting article which I read 20 years ago and
which has been the most helpful advice on saddles that I've read. That and
10 years of riding the bike will probably give you a pretty good idea of
where the saddle ought to be. (For the excessively earnest, I'm *kidding* about
the "10 years" but it will take a while.)

Well yes, moving the saddle back just to get more reach means either the bike 
doesn't fit properly and/or the bars/stem needs changing in some way. There is 
a "sweet spot" for every bike and every rider, and there is no set formula to 
find it and it's never the same for anyone else. I cannot even tell you exactly 
what "it" is, only that it is, you just know it when it's felt and it's yours

[RBW] Re: PSA: 55cm Rivendell All-Rounder - $1200

['Chris Lampe 2' via RBW Owners Bunch]

I think it's the skinny tires creating the illusion that those are 700c 
wheels, which makes the frameset look huge.  Or maybe the skinny tires 
create the illusion because we are used to seeing the 56 Atlantis with 
fatter tires.  The overall proportions are very similar to a 56cm Atlantis, 
a bike I've spent hours drooling over.   

Here is a photo of a 56cm Atlantis with Compass 44mm tires and it also 
looks larger than it's size.

Judging from the space between the top tube and the down tube at the head 
tube, I would have guessed this to be a bigger frame. It could be that the 
combination of extended head tube and 26" wheels contributes to the 
illusion. I guess really hard to tell from photos, but here is an Atlantis 
that was linked in another post and is listed at 61cm:

And here is the 55.5 (so precise!) All Rounder:

Even if the tubing on the Atlantis is a bit more OS, that's a lot of 
optical illusion going on. At the least, I would guess one is being 
measured c-c, the other c-t?

I believe you can use a drive-side spacer on that BB, and if you only need
