Re: [RBW] Re: More fender advice needed
Peter, Nice work. The bikes look great. I see you're running center pull brakes instead of the Tektro side pulls. Do you think that's giving you more clearance? Would I be well off to switch the brakes before adding the fenders? David On May 8, 2013, at 4:20 PM, Peter Morgano uscpeter11...@gmail.com wrote: Re: 52mm Zeppelins over Honjos on a Homer.

Re: [RBW] Re: More fender advice needed
I did start with the Tektro silvers and found the center pulls gave me a bit more room with the fenders. Most importantly they didn't squeeze the fenders when I braked like the silvers did.

Re: [RBW] Re: More fender advice needed
I have had both Honjos and VO's. The Velo Orange are a great deal comparatively speaking and like Alex said come pre-drilled. I know it has been said that some VO fenders only have one Daruma attachment on the rear but the 52mm Zeppelins def have two just like Honjos. Back in the day VO didn't have a hammered option so I got the Honjos but VO has expanded their collection significantly and I cant see spending the extra on Honjos unless you need a size VO doesn't offer.

[RBW] Re: More fender advice needed
Thanks folks, This makes me less suspicious about VO fenders and unless I get some bad feed back or dire warning about VO fenders I'm sorta leaning toward them... Here are a few other thoughts I've had re. fenders: I like the look of the smooth fenders but now I'm thinking the hammered texture will camouflage minor dings and dents if and when they happen. Never having fenders before, are smooth aluminum fenders easily dented? Are hammered, fluted and smooth simply a style or look or are there some practical or structural reasons for smooth, fluted and hammered fenders?

Re: 52mm Zeppelins over Honjos on a Homer.

Re: [RBW] Re: More fender advice needed
on the VO daruma at the fender stay issue, i think i saw back that VO started offering dual daruma. but to be honest i've been happy with my single daruma, and the berthoud (which use two affixing points) is more secure but not hugely so.
