Re: [RBW] Fork Crown Fender Bolt length
We've always used a 50mm cap screw for Rivendells with lights and fenders. Here's an example showing how you would figure it out. I have an Atlanta here from about 2002 when they were built in Japan. The crown is 32mm thick. The Busch & Müller mount you refer to (my part number B) is 4.2mm thick at the crown. A 6mm Nylock nut is a hair under 6mm thick. You'll probably want a washer between the head of the allen cap screw and the mount. I like to use a large OD washer for that purpose. All metric cap screws I know of are sold in 5mm increments in that size range, so without the fender mount you'll need a minimum 45mm cap screw. Your fender mount may add enough thickness to require a 50mm cap screw. Since you probably can't measure your fork crown thickness, and since it may be different from this 2002 version, I'd buy the 50mm cap screw.

[RBW] Fork Crown Fender Bolt length
You'd think this would be a simple matter of, "Let me google that for you," but I've had little luck with that so far. I'm looking to mount my Edelux from the fork crown of my fendered Atlantis. I'll be using the Edelux "long" light mount that Rivendell sells, but I think the bolt I currently use to attach my front fender won't give be long enough. Does anyone with a similar setup know how long of a bolt I should use? I want to say a 50mm M5 should work, but I'm away from my bike and hoping to grab one on my way home later today.
