Re: [RBW] Helpless in Nevada: How do you secure this fender?

I would go for the single hole bracket. Cleaner look, less chance of rattling. Downside: Need to drill a hole. Benefits from a small piece of leather between fender and bracket (not included). --Eric Norris campyonly...@me.com @CampyOnlyguy (Twitter/Instagram) > On Mar 19, 2020, at 4:47

If you’re OK with drilling two little holes in the fender, this would be an easier solution: https://www.benscycle.com/gilles-berthoud-rear-caliper-mount-fender-bracket/fender_part_gillesberthoud__230-132_230-132/product I have this (our similar) on several bikes. If you’re getting fancy, cut

“I keep hearing "10-20 times more deadly than the flu" and then "80% of infected people are invisible because they are untested and asymptomatic." Those two statements seem to not make sense together except to say we have yet to understand what is happening.” Not so hard for me to grasp. Even

Re: [RBW] Chain rubbing rear tire on Clem.

Jim: I wouldn’t worry about this. The chain isn’t going to wear down the tire, but the tire might deposit a little dirt on the chain. I have one or two bikes which have a very minor rubbing issue in one ring/cog combo that I use probably less than 1% of the time. I just live with it. --Eric N

[RBW] In Search of Dark Blue Seat Bag

Hello, I’m Eric and I’m a BagMatcher. I’m looking for a smallish canvas seat bag in dark blue to match the front bag on one of my bikes. Anybody out there have anything like this? I would like something in nice condition, but new/pristine is not necessary. --Eric Norris campyonly...@me.com

Gotta agree with you. I have both friction- and index-shifting bikes, including one bike with Campagnolo Ergo levers that I haven’t been on in a couple of years. I enjoy them both, but when you’re getting tired at the end of a long ride it is such a convenience not to have to hunt around for a
