Re: [RBW] Re: Mixed bag results: Fenders on my Leo

It is my opinion that "everybody" who is doing a Rinko fender agrees that all Honjo fenders can afford to sacrifice 2-inches of their own length to provide the Rinko-Bridge-piece, without rendering that fender useless or ineffective. In the one Rinko job I did, the bridge came from the fender

"A case could be made for a Rinko-style separable fender for that situation" I've retained the cut-section for exactly that reason. That material makes the ideal Rinko-bridge piece. I even have an extra Compass Rinko-nut. All it would take is one more cut, if the situation demands it.

Steve asked for my reasoning. 1. The front extension length was too long because the UNSUPPORTED front extension vibrated and flexed enough to make objectionable noises. That's an objective fact that we both agree on 2. The front extension length was longer than necessary because it is not

I've found, on my commuter bike, that the front fender (SKS Commuter) is too short because it doesn't reach forward quite far enough to cover the top, or apex, of the tire. Because of this shortfall, I can coast down a hill on wet pavement and watch a stream of water leap off the front tire

I’ve used a small strip of thick moleskin on the fender to take up a tiny gap and it has worked surprisingly well, has lasted 3 years so far and no rattle or unsightly issues. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To

I use the fuzzy side of a stick on Velcro strip. The sticky part keeps it in place and quiets the vibration from the fender. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it,

[RBW] Re: Mixed bag results: Fenders on my Leo

Yes, Jeremy, the tiny gap between the fender material and the underside of the brake caliper either demands a bigger gap with a dimple, or needs to be taken to zero with a squishy shim material that will quiet things. Those two options will be in the suggestion box. BL in EC On Friday,

I ran into a similar issue with the super skinny Honjos over Ruffy Tuffies that came on the used Rambouillet I bought over the summer: When first had the bike, the front fender would rattle over everything. I spent some time

Your refusal to test it means we can both be right, in our own minds. Often times, that is sufficient ;-) BL in EC On Friday, December 14, 2018 at 12:14:02 PM UTC-8, Steve Palincsar wrote: > > > On 12/14/18 2:51 PM, Bill Lindsay wrote: > > > > On Friday, December 14, 2018 at 11:17:51 AM
