Just a quick reminder about copyright: If you xerox an article and give it to a friend, it's probably fine under "fair use". But scanning and posting online would be the equivalent of publishing copyrighted work without permission, which is definitely illegal. Perhaps you'll understand that

Michael: I'm interested, but I've had a number of offers for good calipers, so don't need to take from you something that you are attached to. If you are firm on selling, I'd love to see a photo -- but again, I have several offers already. Thanks much! Patrick On Fri, Feb 19, 2016 at 5:37 AM,

[RBW] Re: Metal fender shaping/cutting advice

I have a pair of Campy Grand Comp brakes that I might be willing to part with. I don't have any need for them now but am emotionally attached to them, because they were on my first good adult bike, almost 35 years ago. They offer good fender clearance, and can be opened pretty wide,

I've seen a couple versions of this simple wood form and whacking/clamping tool. Seems right up your alley, Patrick! https://www.flickr.com/photos/49353569@N00/16824887851/in/faves-43928148@N00/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/duncancycles/3975211277/in/faves-43928148@N00/ Best, joe pdx or On

I dont have it but maybe jan will email it to you. He gives out that article with the fenders people buy from compass. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send

Can anyone scan or photo and post the BQ article on the details of fender mounting, particularly the pages where Jan describes making forms with which to shape fenders to fit around stays and fork legs? Many thanks, Patrick Moore, who gave away his BQ back issues to friends. -- You received

Re: [RBW] Re: Metal fender shaping/cutting advice

Thanks; and to think I gave that issue away. Damn! I've actually thought about getting canti posts brazed on, but I *think* that with single pivots and careful cutting/denting I can get the 50s in there -- unfortunately, when I had the frame modified last summer, I neglected to have the rear

[RBW] Re: Metal fender shaping/cutting advice

I've put fenders on a lot of different bikes over the years. Some plastic. Mostly metal ones, like Honjos and Velo-Orange. A couple of things I've found: I have not found any dual-pivot brake that has as much clearance for fenders as most single-pivot brakes. Yes, I've tried some of the

Whoops: the current fenders are 40s and the replacement pair are 50s -- in case this matters. On Sat, Feb 13, 2016 at 6:43 PM, Patrick Moore wrote: > I've been messing with fenders on the 2003 custom, and never really have > installed metal ones as neatly as desirable, at

[RBW] Re: Metal fender shaping/cutting advice

BQ has an extensive article in one of their volumes by JH and JPWeigle I think about crafting metal fenders to fit. Btw I saw no significant diff in space between my tektro r559s and Paul racer cpulls. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners

[RBW] Re: Metal fender shaping/cutting advice

In connection with this topic: what brake arches give the best clearance for fenders? Said brakes have to: 1. Have between 53 and 58 mm reach. 2. Be forged and silver. 3. Stop well with salmon pads. (I am quite happy with, say, Royal Grand Comp and the better SunTour calipers.) I installed

[RBW] Re: Metal fender shaping/cutting advice

This is exactly why my next bike will have cantis if I have a choice. i struggled with my Honjo h50's hammered to get as much clearance as poss on my Bleriot. Calipers limit how high the fender can rise above tire. I used a Sheldon nut behind the fork. Daruma was a no go. But I have tons of
