Hello RBW
I´m looking for your help and addvice regarding fenders for my bike with 26 x
1.75 - 2.0 tires. The bike is my commuter/touring bike. What do you use and
reccomend I have looked in to the following fenders:
Velo Orange 26 x 60 mm fenders in aluminium
Well I sure helped Riv out. The other day when I ordered my swell new
Nitto (was snobbish, now humble) seat post, I figured, what the heck,
and ordered two pair of black knickers.
Unfortunately, I have the attention span of a two year old and somehow
managed to buy the shorts instead of the
+1. A little bit more tailored fit would be good too, they look baggy
around the crotch, judging from the photos on the site. I wear
knickers year round on my bikes, have them from Swrve, Rapha, Chrome,
Hypnotic Designs, and Chicago WIG - would be happy to add the Rivs,
but the excess fabric in
Carl,
I have 26x2.0 on my All-Rounder and used the WIDE 26x65 SKS fenders
from RBW. Tires are 26x2.0 Panaracer Ribmos.

As stated on the RBW site they really are quite large, that helps in
the wet.

Carl, I can't answer your question directly, but do have a lot of
experience with plastic, Al, and steel fenders. Because all metal
fenders have a 4 mm lip inside each edge which constricts tire width
somewhat, plastic fenders are generally the best bet, when you are
trying to maximize tire size
The VOs are good value but the cheaper aluminum ones are softer and
bend more easily than the much more expensive Honjo Hammered. That
said, I have 37 mm VO cheapies on two bikes and, no problems.
Honjo Hammereds are very nice.
Berthoud stainless are very nice, too, but IME the Honjos stand up
So I got the L Sackville saddlesack, I don't have the instruction
sheet with me right now (out on a trip), but I think it said to use
the interior flap for large loads. Well, you should use it for small
loads too - I had an expensive pair of sunglasses bounce out of the
back while the bag was
LOL on the SPD's. I put platforms with toe clips on one of my bikes
last fall, and realized I rode it all the time because I didn't have

platforms and
Straps are aftermarket Wallingford straps.

Yeah, I've heard/read that, too, somewhere, but it don't make sense to
me. The brake bridge looks to me like a pre-manufactured piece that
gets brazed in place after its holes have already been made. I assume
that the frame gets held at some point by this brake bridge, but how

My 1996 Waterford-built All-Rounder has a fender mount under the
brake bridge, so the issue is not that they are not capable of doing
it. If they are using a solid cast brake bridge, that may be the
issue- there is nowhere for the end of the bolt to go. The bridge on

True. It's an interesting model. The scan of the Japanese catalog is

Berthoud also makes a 26x60 fender. Am running those on my Surly

I did this about seven years ago after reading some of Grants stuff. I
thought I'd try it and lo and behold, I could ride just fine (and no
slower) with platform pedals. I now use a BMX style pin pedal with a

The only problem I've found is that w/out fixed foot retention, I get ITB

my heels in w/out them and that led to some debilitating pain. Back to SPDs
I wear virtually exclusively MUSA shorts when riding in warm weather
and (until now) MUSA pants when riding in non-warm weather. I intend
to embrace the idea that knickers would be fine in cool weather so
that the temperature eras would now be three: 70-up, shorts;
45-69., MUSA knickers;
