Mark, Anton, this. The purpose of a decaleur is not to support the
vertical mass of a bag, but to support the horizontal mass of the bag under
dynamic loads. The stays fight this war, too, but for now, let's pretend
they don't.
A sideways load on the bag acts like a wrench to twist the

I didn't catch this when you first posted, but could you please supply

That is a gorgeous bike! I do like the look with the 650b and fenders.
Thanks so much for sharing the photo.
I had read somewhere else about the tread pattern in the Lierre trapping
bits of road flotsam and jetsam; I am sorry to learn they pick up glass on
your commute. I have ridden Compass
John, that's basically why I'm a fan of the Bertoud. At least in my
situation of a very tall frame and a very tall bag (Acorn tall rando) it's
the only set-up that will work. I did all the measurement math before I
set it up. I have the Passhunter with integral decaleur on my daughter's
Beauty. Love the colour.

Nice bike. Not sure I've seen it in person. Is the photo from the park at
the end of the high bridge?
As to flats due to glass, I get them riding around St. Paul, too. Before

I'm not sure exactly where the photo was taken; we were visiting St. Paul

One way you can handle the daruma nut problem is to use a recessed brake nut
instead of the usual nut. You can put the spacers on the outside of the nut,
and the rim on the recessed nut will save you a few mm. You will need to
enlarge the hole in the fender carefully... But I have done this

when my sidepull brakes are fully released, they do touch the fender, but once
the cables are properly tensioned, everything fits just fine. Bleriot has
spacers on the crown fork daruma; Sweetpea (where the fender and brake touch
when the brake is untensioned) does not have spacers.
So check
That is a really good workaround!

It also comes in handy when you need to extend the daruma bolt for extra
fender drop, such as on 650B conversions!

I already did it with the brakes centered and tensioned and QR closed and
no dice.
Holding the fender at brake height where it hits the brakes and then
lowering a mm to clear it then requires about 1/8 wedge for daruma to
close the gap.
*But *no use in doing that as I will still need to rotate
I have no room to change the dent to tilt the nose of the fender upward for
radius matching because the calipers prevent the nose of the fender from
rising anymore.

I hate darumas. Darumas are the devil. They steal clearance just where you
want it most.
My favorite fender mounts so far have been home-brewed lengths of aluminum
stock that I bent, slotted, and riveted. Any length you want, and the
slotting is crucial. On plastic fenders, you can actually

Gorgeous bike. What a great color. The recessed crown and brake bridge

I'm not sure what this concern is about. 3mm of space between the end of a

DO not settle for the 3mm! Think about which way the tire moves when you
hit a big bump, does it move more than 3mm and what would happen if the

this happening worth it? I have had situations like this get
