For those who tried multiple models of fenders: Which yield the greatest tire clearance for a given outer fender diameter? Specifically, I'm looking for something that does better than the Honjos I'm now running – fluted, clearing 37 mm tires fine, but not 40/42 mm that I'd like to try. It's

My AHH is running 700 X 38 Compass Barlow PAas EL tires. The fenders are 50mm VO Snakeskin(?). They required very little modification to fit. A little at the chain stays and other than that, they bolted right on. On Saturday, October 1, 2016 at 3:23:10 PM UTC-4, GAJett wrote: > > What size

Very much. Works well, looks great and I know the owner, so I was an "early adopter". He is a super nice guy and I wanted to support him. He makes really nice, thoughtful stuff. On Saturday, October 1, 2016 at 3:16:47 PM UTC-4, Lungimsam wrote: > > Is that a velo lumino tail light dyno? > If

What size tires and what fender width are you running? Rivendell put on the Schwalbe Marathon 650b x 42's when they built my AHH. Rivbike shows these have an actual 37 mm width. Wanting to know what fender width I can use and/or if I can go with a Compass 42 (Babyshoe Pass) or would need to

I myself have a set of Honjo hammered fenders I installed on my Kogswell P/R in 2006. They're perfectly fine. I have never used VO hammered, but in principle there's no difference: as Patrick says, you have to install the fenders without stress. You can't pull them into line with the stays

Honjo hammereds will break within a year or 18 months if you stress them by using the mounting points to shape them, as I did -- expensive lesson -- torque at the brake bridge; the fender cracked at the attachment point. I expect that the shop did the same thing. On Sat, Oct 1, 2016 at 9:07 AM,

Probably corrosion. If it's just in spots - like where your sweaty sunscreened leg brushes against it when you turn the wheel sharply while standing at a light straddling the bike (as mine are plagued by) - the answer is Blue Magic. If it's all over, evenly distributed making an attractive
