After I gouged my Bleriot, I took a careful look at the Silver Hupe
while mounted on the bike and concluded the arms were designed too
close together around the mounting points, which makes it have a
tendency to pop off inwards when riding on bumpy roads. I took the
Hupe off, placed it in a vice,
With the Silver Hupe, for me the seat stay diameter made a difference.

On the Rambouillet with double tapered seat-stays, noticeable smaller
