I have sks longboards mounted to my Sam behind the fork crown with a Sheldon nut. The fender line is nice, and this has the advantge of allowing the fender to be adjusted (or removed entirely) just by removing a single bolt and without disrupting the brake adjustment. I don't see any advantag

If you don't want to get a Sheldon Fender nut, you can mount the L-bracket in front of the fork crown, as shown in the Riv youtube video, but The rear part of the fendere will sit higher, making a flap more necessary (of course some folks will insist that a flap is always necessary). :) Gernot

none of the rivendells have anything built in on the forks to accommodate front fender mounting, you'll have to use a l-bracket or a fork daruma. for metal fenders most of us use fork darumas, that's how i have it on my orange sam. On Thursday, February 28, 2013 1:34:11 PM UTC-5, Michael wrot

Whichever way you choose. Brake bolt is fine (L-bracket-- you can use Sheldon Fender Nuts for easier on/off). Mount it under the fork crown with a fork crown daruma bolt. Some bicycle forks have threaded fender mount, but I don't think Rivs have that. On Thursday, February 28, 2013 1:34:11 P
