If you mean that your ordered the VO metal clips, I'd suggest just using
them; I think that the danger of clogging the fender while riding
smooth-tread tires on pavement is so small as to be negligible. And,
perhaps these are made in USA!

Patrick: Yes, 50mm Tallux, and you're absolutely correct that it's all due
to the wide bars. I would run an 80mm with "normal" drop bars. Reaching
wider puts one's shoulders quite a bit further forward, all else equal.

Steve is correct - that’s what PDW described to me. So maybe not an actual
breakaway, but a design work-around. I’m not sure a mechanic would know what I
meant, so I’ll bring the PDW breakaways when I have the fenders installed.

Are metal R clips "break away"? Those I've used seem to hold the struts
pretty tightly. I'll be glad if they are, since that's what I am using now

The Dynamic is sort of a lower-budget Pearl in that it's a road stem with a
shorter usable length in the quill than a Technomic. It's not a direct
replacement, though. The extension has a wider profile that thickens as it
approaches the clamp, which is in turn about 5mm thicker on each side

Are the new and used the SAME size??? the used ones look smaller.
How do they attach to the rack?? Clips on top and an elastic strap to the

For clarity, it looks like Mark is selling a Wide/Low which has 38/24
rings, and is NOT selling a Low/Low, which would have 34/24 rings. Both
those models, currently available at Rivendell sell for $220 without a
bottom bracket, so this is a super nice price.
