The center hole is for the bridge mount. Most bridges on bikes specifically designed for fenders will have a threaded boss on the bottom of the bridge, oriented toward the axle. For bridges with a brake bolt, you can still mount a fender using a 90 degree bracket bolted to the brake bolt.

Not new, but you can sometimes get a great deal on used ones on the big auction block. Most of my TA chainring sets were sourced that way. Anton velolumino.com somervillebikes.wordpress.com On Thursday, September 24, 2015 at 8:21:39 PM UTC-4, Patrick Moore wrote: > > I know the usual places;

[RBW] Re: Bizarrely on topic: AL absorption through skin

Looks like aluminum to me, but the amount is probably so little, and absorption rates through skin so small, compared to other sources that you are probably ingesting or absorbing into your bloodstream via other routes (e.g., smoking), that it's probably of no consequence. Anton velolumino.com

[RBW] Re: Bizarrely on topic: AL absorption through skin

Good question-- this is a concern with antiperspirants since many contain aluminum. A research paper on this effect (on mice) determined that about 0.01% of applied Al from antiperspirant is absorbed by the skin. Per application, that amounted to about 4 mcg, or about 2.5% of the amount of

[RBW] Re: Bizarrely on topic: AL absorption through skin

When your feet become dark grey after riding, I wonder how much of that is aluminum oxide (dark gray/black) and how much is dirt. If you rode on plastic pedals would your feet still get the same dark gray? It would be interesting to know if metalworkers who work with aluminum develop any

[RBW] Re: Nitto Big Front Rack + Front Fender

There's no true elegant fix for this since your rack doesn't have a dedicated braze-on mount for the fender, but you can improve on the zip-tie fix. You can get a small nylon R-clamp from your local hardware store and attach it to the rack cross-bar. Use a spacer and bolt for the R-clip

[RBW] Re: Judder on the Hunqa

Are you using the stock Tektro pads? I found I had really bad brake judder with Tektro CR720 cantis and Koolstop Salmon pads, but when I swapped back in the stock Tektro pads, the problem went away. Anton velolumino.com somervillebikes.wordpress.com On Sunday, September 6, 2015 at 12:23:02 PM

[RBW] Re: So why no Titanium Wald basket?

Clearly you can see the stress points from the way it was mounted. These wire baskets really are easy to break. I have one on my Bike Friday and I bang it on my fence walking it out from my yard every day. Just from banging it against the wood post the wire is getting mangled. The best way
