Re: [RBW] Re: Sacramento Blogger Profiles His Her Quickbeams
With the SKS fenders: 1) Don't cut down the fender stays after installation. 2) Instead of putting the plastic caps on the fender stays, I ground all the edges off the tips with a dremel tool. 3) I carry an 8mm wrench as part of my tool kit (I started carrying the Park MT-1 tool). To fix a flat I loosen the fender stays with the 8mm wrench and the rear wheel comes out fine; after the wheel is back on, I re-tighten the stays.

I don't have a quickbeam, but I do have a Kogswell P/R with horizontal dropouts. I have to deflate the tire to remove the wheel. Fixing a flat, of course, the wheel's already deflated. The pain in the a$$ comes in having to insert the wheel uninflated, then inflate it on the bike. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Re: Sacramento Blogger Profiles His Her Quickbeams
I solved this problem on the only bike I have with track ends by amputating the rear fender so that it is just long enough to keep spray off my back and off the Nelson, but quite short enough so that it does not interfere with the wheel's rearward movement when removing it. The best solution is horizontal dropouts, using the term in (bowing head reverently) Sheldon's meaning.
