I think the main advantage of the RBW ball and socket seat lug is that it

Front fenders are much more problematic than rear ones. A friend of mine
recently picked up a stick with her front tire which lodged under her front
fender. She is now recovering from a broken arm and can’t ride (except on an

I've got two ss bikes I like a lot, but I'd not take either of em to that

that climb.
