Hi All,
Lots of useful information being traded here. I see that, when trying to
squeeze out the last bit of clearance under the fork crown, there's no love
for the traditional daruma bolt/nut. I'd like to suggest taking a look at
the PlugNut fender mount, which lets you create a flush-mount,
Thanks, y'all.
SKS P45 worked fine for me too for the intial 650b conversion, too.
But I tossed them after going fast bike on the Ram this summer.
Now the Ram becomes the wet/winter weather bike.
Thinking of Berthouds because I have tried SKS and Honjo already.
I like the looks of Bertys and the
I did not know Berthoud made different lengths.I got mine from Peter WHite
Cycles. My Berthoud's were shorter than a pairs of VO or Honjo long
fenders I have installed. You can install, ride and then see. Ben's cycles
sells individual fender stays if you need just one.
As for 700c, I am of
2nd qustion for Brian:
Were the fenders the short or long version that didn;t need a front end
stabilizer?

@Brian: Why would you go back to 700c? Any specific reasons? I am looking
for reasons to do this.
I have thought that maybe since the bike was designed around 700c I might
try it again and see how I like it. I have extra 700c wheels to pop in
there.
@aspgh: My 650b H50's wont fit betweixt
Don't know if there is on line or not but Bicycle Quarterly, Volume 9, No.
2, Winter 2010 has a highly detailed description by Jan Heine and Peter
Weigle on mounting metal fenders. Recommended!

When I ran Berthoud's, I did not need a second stay like I do on the VO
(alloy) fenders. They are stiffer and don't flop so much. YMMV.

I will use Sheldon fender nut. Does the stainless Berthoud fender require
something to brace the front fender nose like Honjos do or not?

I would vote to go back to 700x32. Also if you are trying to maximize
clearance, try a set of center pull brakes, if you are not using them
already and maybe ditch the daruma style mount and use a bracket that
mounts at the brake bolt. These are all things that I have done on my AHH
and other
Not enough space with P45 and 700c 32mm tires on blue Ram for my tastes.
I was thinking of trying my Honjo H50 wiith 700 x 32c and see if the high
arched Honjos offer enough room for safe tire passage.
Width would definitely be wide enough. Height is the challenge. I always
use fender nuts.
I have Honjo H50 fenders (for 32-38 tires per Compass' website) on my
Rambouillet with 700x32 Stampede Pass Els. I did switch brakes and replace
the OEM Shimano "longer reach" calipers with some Paul Racers. It all works
well.
Lum,
I'm not sure Berthouds are going to work in either of these instances.
I've installed Berthoud fenders on 4 of my bikes and love them. I love
them so much, I coincidentally just purchased a set for my Ram which is
currently running 700x35 Schwalbe Supremes and P45 SKS fenders. Long
