[RBW] Re: Berthoud Fenders on Saluki/AHH
I have VO Al fenders on my Saluki with 38 mm but feel sure I could fir 41s if I wanted too, but it would be just a bit tighter than optimal.

[RBW] Re: Berthoud Fenders on Saluki/AHH
I don't know how helpful I will be, but I have a comment on each. 1. I tried Honjos on my 650B Hilsen (2010), and was not satisfied with clearance around Hetres. I returned to SKS plastics, and then decided clearances were even better with Lierres, which are tremendous tires. When I wear through a pile of Lierres I'll try the 38mm Compass offering. I only run 42s on my Hilsen when the fenders are off. I like having a full 10mm on top and 5mm on each side with fenders. I couldn't get the 10mm on top, so I wasn't satisfied. I might be too demanding. 2. I haven't had stainless powdercoated, but I did pinstripe them! Contact me offlist if you like and I'll point you to my flickr album when I get home Bill On Wednesday, September 10, 2014 4:18:01 PM UTC-7, Tony DeFilippo wrote: After riding a bike with these stainless beauties and given that I have some time to 're-imagine' my Saluki I've got two fender questions for the group; 1.

Bill that's very helpful on both! What size Hilsen are you riding with 38's? I'll hit you up off list for the pinstriping shots, Thanks -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Tony, I've fit those Berthoud 50's, the ones Mike Kone sells @ Rene Herse online on my Saluki/54 running Heters (and now EL Babyshoe Pass) without any issues. It's tight, yes, and not ideal in the BQ /Peter Weigle sense, but I've never encountered an issue -- though once I nearly caught a squirrel in my front stay -- but that's another story altogether. Sorry I don't have the proper chain stay bridge shot but if you need one to be convinced just let me know and I'll iPhone it for you: https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-om-T5VpzpYE/VBEYsA-zmhI/AB8/gA_hpYNyK-I/s1600/IMG_0189_72.jpg https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-a-fiSXPQXh8/VBEYwBMqioI/ACE/OzflOd79OtA/s1600/IMG_0188_72.jpg https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-mu0Yp6jGR5U/VBEYzPJknJI/ACM/40OH54E056o/s1600/close%2Bshave.JPG On Wednesday, September 10, 2014 7:18:01 PM UTC-4, Tony DeFilippo wrote: After riding a bike with these stainless beauties and given that I have some time to 're-imagine' my Saluki I've got two fender questions for the group; 1.
