[RBW] Re: Do you like your Berthoud stainless fenders?

Honjo fenders are free of any holes so installation preference can allow for higher curb clearance by the front one. Berthoud fenders, while not prepped for the stay hardware, are drilled and indented for the fork crown (a bigger deal than it seems), dictating how far back the tail of the

[RBW] Re: Do you like your Berthoud stainless fenders?

I have Berthoud fenders on three bikes. I also have hammered Honjos on another bike. I prefer the Berthouds - I think they look nicer, and the struts are definitely superior to any others that I've seen. If you ride off a kerb, the Berthoud mudflap folds up out of the way without any damage.

Re: [RBW] Re: Do you like your Berthoud stainless fenders?

I would speculate that the honjo hammered pattern “dents” make the hammered version strong like pressed stiffener troughs do for sheet metal. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving

Re: [RBW] Re: Do you like your Berthoud stainless fenders?

Perhaps it's the work hardening -- though are those really hammered, or just pressed? -- that made my hammered Honjos more resistant to dents than the Berthoud stainless ones; at least, that's my recollection. On Sun, Jan 14, 2018 at 6:40 AM, ascpgh wrote: > I too have the

[RBW] Re: Do you like your Berthoud stainless fenders?

I too have the hammered Honjos on my Rambouillet. Conceptually the hammering gives both some 3D structure and work hardening to allow less material and lighter weight of them. They have been pretty resilent but I did replace an earlier set bent enough out of shape from being rear-ended by

[RBW] Re: Do you like your Berthoud stainless fenders?

Longboards (35,45) are listed by SKS as 689g. Not sure if 35 or 45 width. But that means, in either case, they are heavier than Berthouds in the size I want: 650b x 50 (644g). So my size berts are lighter than my current 45mm longboards. Now just have to think about are Honjos worth it for any

[RBW] Re: Do you like your Berthoud stainless fenders?

I have them on more than one bike and will probably put them on another soon. Weight to me is a moot point. If I were concerned about that I'd lose a couple pounds of body fat. Easy to set up, look good and maintenance free. I like'em. On Saturday, January 13, 2018 at 8:20:39 AM UTC-6, lum

[RBW] Re: Do you like your Berthoud stainless fenders?

I used them and they were nice but heavier to no real benefit than aluminum fenders. I like the Berthoud mounting struts best because they sit almost flush on the fender. I use Berthoud struts with VO fenders to help minimize toe overlap. On Saturday, January 13, 2018 at 9:20:39 AM UTC-5, lum
