Re: [RBW] Re: Grant Petersen Discussion on Reddit

I prefer working with Honjo undrilled fenders over any other. Need a lot of patience and some good tooling. If that is not something one is into, yes VO are better. Here's a great video of CS Hirose installing fenders that helps :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xbveQQHo00 On Thursday,

Nobody asked, but here's my somtwo cents: VO metal fenders are much easier to install **well** than the SKS plastic ones. They're predrilled, so you only need basic tools like allen wrenches and a little bit of patience (maybe a drill if you're going to directly mount to a rando rack, too).

Re: [RBW] Re: Grant Petersen Discussion on Reddit

SKS fenders may be easy-er than nothing to install for someone like a bike shop looking for a path of least resistance, but sheesh they look awful. I have some Bluemel P50's on my Bombadil. Frankly, any fender can be a challenge to install so I'd rather have some metal ones that look

Re: [RBW] Re: Grant Petersen Discussion on Reddit

Just for the record, and not trying to change anyone's mind: I've used most major brands, extant and defunct, of plastic fenders, and many makes of metal fenders, aluminum and stainless steel. Good plastic ones -- SKS, Planet Bike (not Avocet or Zefal!), perhaps Bumels, tho' it's been too long

[RBW] Re: Grant Petersen Discussion on Reddit

The Zeppelins and the other VO metal fenders are beautiful. When I got my first bike with fenders (I never knew fenders existed before I got a got a Riv five years ago), I went with the SKS ones because of the breakaway tabs. Years later, Riv carries the tabs for metal fenders, so perhaps

Roberta I believe Grant was spot on regarding the metal fenders drawbacks. I recently installed 52mm VO Zeppplins and the installation was a challenge. In contrast, the SKS go on much easier. John Hawrylak Woodstown NJ On Wednesday, April 27, 2022 at 7:12:37 AM UTC-4 Roberta wrote: >

Roberta, I hadn't seen that response from Grant. I wonder if they plan to bring back the B68 or a similar design from Brooks? Interesting. Doug On Wednesday, April 27, 2022 at 7:12:37 AM UTC-4 Roberta wrote: > Grant responds. > > GrantthatGrant >

Ah, Three Dog Night. They won more Grammys in one night than Bob Dylan did in his entire career. Which is about as fruitful a comparison as one crew of nerds commenting on the opinions of another crew of nerds. Philip Sonoma County, Calif On Tuesday, April 26, 2022 at 4:49:52 PM UTC-7 Garth

[RBW] Re: Grant Petersen Discussion on Reddit

I saw this post - read the top comment and immediately went on my merry way. It's an opinion bias and Grant sees it's a good setup for recreational riding and makes bikes to make this easily attainable. I think there's still a strong bias that "low drop bars are for serious cyclists, high bars
