Sean that 'Night Heron' project is stunning! How do you like the drum
brakes/sa 3 speed? Is there anything you have to check with the frame to

Measuring chain line on the rear cog can be tricky, indeed. It's why I
gave up years ago and bought a Park CLG-2 chain line gauge (discontinued,

Whether your crankset requires a symmetrical or asymmetrical bottom bracket
depends entirely on how it was designed. Classic Campagnolo Record cranksets,
for instance, use an asymmetrical bottom bracket, even though the inner face of
the crank spider is pretty flat.
Just one more example of
So Eric, would it be fair to say that the crankset/BB pretty much needs to
be purchased as a matched or mated pair? This, of course, is no big
deal if one is buying something like a Campy groupo, where everything is
set up to work together within the same product and model, but it becomes
That's exactly correct. The folks at Phil Wood, for instance, are in my
experience very knowledgeable about the length and style of bottom bracket that
will match any given crankset.

If you have a crankset that matches the Campy BB specs (length, taper, BB
shell width) for the cooresponding Campy crankset, is the Campy BB still
preferable?

That would depend on the BB and what your priorities are. Campy bottom brackets
from the classic era are rebuildable and can last pretty much forever if
they're taken care of. Many riders, however, prefer sealed units, which Campy
started making later on. I run both types on my bikes, and they

the small wheels lets you have a lot of flexibility -- It works as well
with two adults as it does with very little kids in back -- and without the

I have recently installed two sets of Longboards after not having used
plastic fenders for a decade. The first installation, on Pat's new Betty
Foy took me somewhat longer than I anticipated, which I attributed to
inexperience, but came out fine. The second installation, purchased to
replace
I'd love to write praises of Betty. But I can't yet. Pat rode this bike

You're not alone I as far as my experience goes - I detest those new style
clips and don't use them. I stick to the old method where I can get
everything trued up with respect to the tire line and then cut off the
excess. You can then cut the end-cap part of the new fangled clip and slide
it
You are not alone! I just installed some last night and had the same
issues.
Front tip: Bend the fork attachment clip to lower the front. And/or
lengthen the upper stays. I also find that snugging the fender up to the
bottom of the fork/brake is vital for good alignment. The bent tip from

I went through the same two problems that you are having with my Fenders.
1. ON the SKS website, P45's are listed as Rim 28, which may mean that
their curve is for 28 rimmed wheels. Maybe that is why the nose sticks out

Same comments as Tim. The front fender (Longboard) on my Blériot also pointed
up, so I bent the bracket at the fork to make it point a little more downward.
I haven't had problems with the rear fender curling out of line, but the front
of the front fender insists on pointing a tiny bit off
I guess the secret to the front tip-up is:
Hiding it under a rack and/or basket so you never notice it. :)

Was wondering.
Also, do metal fenders pretty much align themselves since they don't bend?

I love metal fenders, personally. I know they are less safe but they
did fine for over 100 years on millions of bikes.

they really don't self-align - they snug nicely at the brake/crown mounts,
but you have to align the rear third by the position on the stay dharuma,
and the tail end by the length adjustment on the stays.

Berthouds use plastic clips for the stays that experience has shown
will move when the fender gets hit from the rear.
The Berthouds stay in alignment better than SKS chromoplastics.

If stays are springing things across the shop floor, you should pre-bend
them so they aren't storing so much stress. If you don't, those sprung
stays are in a perpetual tug-o-war on your bike and invariably one side
will win, and you'll feel like you have to readjust your lame fenders over

If you can, raise the fender at the attachment point behind the fork crown

Maybe Glorius? They had curved stays fancy lugs. It's also got the new
