@jason Y'know what, maybe it is! Lol, I forget. I dunno anything about Rivendells compared to you folks. @brenton Thanks! These are both Carradice Camper Longflaps in green. I love the rustic look over time (though I think the one in the back was actually brand new in this photo - first trip!)

@ Patrick Moore, I'll let the OP respond, but the tires appear to be Ultradynamico Mars Race. I could be wrong about the Mars part, but they're definitely Ultradynamico. Cheers, John On Monday, January 22, 2024 at 12:51:53 AM UTC+1 Jason Fuller wrote: > Hey look who it is! > > I thought

Linda: Welcome and thank you for such a delightful intro. Your Fleetwing is a sweet looking mixte. I admire the passion you have for it and the commitment you've made to keep it rolling. Be warned though. One Riv can lead to another! Hope you enjoy your Clem as much as the Fleetwing! Best

Re: [RBW] Stuff hanging on that front brake bolt on Homer on the RBW intro page...

I had the same drag on my 650b converted Riv Road with Longboards mounted with Sheldon nuts. The short flap is the perfect solution. Sheldon nuts make fenders so much easier. Those SKS fenders were lost when the rear ate a stick and accordioned under the brakes. FYI, my wheel did lock up but I

Re: [RBW] Stuff hanging on that front brake bolt on Homer on the RBW intro page...

How do you like the hammered VOs? Still running 650b x 38? Pics? One of my Longboards got damages in an um 'unintended off road excursion' so I'm thinking about replacing them, either with another pair of the same, or some kind of metal fenders. Is your chainstay bridge threaded? Mine is not.

Re: [RBW] Stuff hanging on that front brake bolt on Homer on the RBW intro page...

Sheldon nuts don't work on longboards anyway, if you attach them to the backside of the fork, you will end up occasionally dragging the flap on the ground. On Thu, Feb 26, 2015 at 6:08 PM, lungimsam john11.2...@gmail.com wrote: Looks like they have the front end set up like this: 1. Brake,

Jim, when you say that Sheldon Nuts don't work with longboards, I think you mean front only, right? The rear has plenty of room. Do you mean with 650B, 700C or both? I think you mean just 650B. Do you mean with the short flap, the long flap or both? Bill On Friday, February 27, 2015 at

Re: [RBW] Stuff hanging on that front brake bolt on Homer on the RBW intro page...

Bill, Yes, I meant front only, with 650B. Even after switching the fender mounting tang to the front of the fork, I still drag the flap on the ground sometimes which causes it to fold up under the tire and rub annoyingly. I then have to stop and fix it. I don't see how it would be that

Re: [RBW] Stuff hanging on that front brake bolt on Homer on the RBW intro page...

That's for sure! Much easier to just undo the fender alone. My only trouble is I can only get about 3.5 turns onto the brake bolt with the longer of the two sheldon nuts in my pack. Bleriot crown with R559 brakes and a rack on the front like this: R559-brake spacer thingy-rack tab-knurled spacer

[RBW] Stuff hanging on that front brake bolt on Homer on the RBW intro page...

Looks like they have the front end set up like this: 1. Brake, then nut thingy, 2. the rack tab, then 3. the fender tab, then 4. the washer/spacer knurled thingy, all up against the fork crown, and then the brake bolt nut from the back. So no need for a Sheldon nut for the fender tab. You can

Re: [RBW] Stuff hanging on that front brake bolt on Homer on the RBW intro page...

Just ride. I have to say, you may not *need* a fender bolt, but it's nice not to futz with the brakes every time you want to remove your fenders. On Thu, Feb 26, 2015 at 4:08 PM, lungimsam john11.2...@gmail.com wrote: Looks like they have the front end set up like this: 1. Brake, then nut
