Hi everyone,
I got fed up of the CR-720s on my Bombadil (late 2011, with the new fork
crown with extra clearance and long fork blades), so I decided to try
V-brakes instead. I was concerned that the Nitto Mini rack would interfere
with the cable at the fork crown. I thought I'd post here in

Interesting, I'm finding that the 60 mm Berthoud fenders on my Bombadil are

The Bombadil has threaded holes in the top of the fork, although I'm not

it could just be full of paint.

Steve—I did consider the 13–34 and it's still a possibility, but it seems
that I'd be swapping a useful gear in the middle of the cassette for the a

where the spacer would be.
You're right, I would be perfectly content with the 13–34. I'm no

on the freehub so I may as well try it. Because I'm a lazy shifter, and I

and give me enough tyre clearance
Thanks for the comments.
I was also hesitant to spread the dropouts that far but there wasn't much

straps to support that and the chainstay bridge. I have no idea whether
there is any practical effect to that, though.
