I've used a wine bottle cork as a spacer when the bridge mount is farther away than it should be. Works great! Anton ridingthecatskills.com On Wednesday, June 11, 2014 6:38:14 AM UTC-4, blakcloud wrote: Go to around 2:49 of this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lG_WZVS9SUYRivendell

I used a long bolt and a spring as a spacer. I don't have to remember to remove a cork/spacer before removing the wheel. That's good for the times I'm fixing a flat on the road. My Riv Road has forward facing horizontal dropouts (Campy 1010). Sometimes I have to re-adjust the spring after

If the bolt engages enough of the threaded hole, you should be fine. Cork works (Anton and others use this-- plenty-o-pics on Flickr showing it) Aluminum spacer works (Riv video posted earlier shows Mark doing this) Plastic spacer works (Peter White's method, see ~7th pic or so

The spring thing is really only needed with horizontal dropouts. Getting a tire past the fender is a PITA without it, but for vertical drops any spacer will do. On Jun 11, 2014 9:43 AM, Shoji Takahashi shoji.takaha...@gmail.com wrote: If the bolt engages enough of the threaded hole, you should

Jim- That's the situation on my Riv Road. I use a P-clamp, a long bolt, a spring, several washers, and a locknut. It's not 100% secure, but the tension from the spring and from the fender itself keep it together with no squeaks. I don't have a picture, but I could get you one tonight. On

What if you have no accommodation for a fender on the seat stay bridge at all? I am currently using rubberized P clamp and a zip tie, but it's not very elegant and I have to fiddle with it constantly. Any suggestions? On Wed, Jun 11, 2014 at 8:42 AM, Shoji Takahashi shoji.takaha...@gmail.com

I ended up making a stainless bracket in the shape of a shallow U with holes drilled on either side. One side is fastened to the threaded hole in the bridge, the other to the fender with nylon insert nut. So it serves as a standoff. I needed to bend one side of the U slightly to make it parallel
