I haven't ridden my Ram in hard rain yet. I've ridden through puddles and such and have not noticed grime on my BB. I usually won't ride the Ram in hard rain unless I get caught out or do a brevet in the rain. I haven't done that yet, but if I do, then I can give a better report. I also have extra plastic, reflective mudflaps that I will mount if I find that the current mudflap does not go low enough. I can measure the distance from the bottom of the flap to the ground if that would be helpful... Toshi in Oakland--a mostly fair weather recreational rider on my Ram.

[RBW] Re: Plastic Fenders and Hetres
One thing to consider about tight fender clearance... this has happened a couple times on my wife's Betty w/ Hetres and SKS P-50s... is the space between the tire and fender filling up with debris (wet pine needles) to the point that the wheel freezes. It requires removing the wheel to clean it all out. --Smitty On Thursday, January 10, 2013 10:06:26 PM UTC-8, Daniel wrote: After some reading on fenders, I'm ready to go for it.

Re: [RBW] Re: Plastic Fenders and Hetres
Regarding fender clearance, I was told to try to keep a pencil's width of clearance. I don't think I could get that with Hetres on my AHH, but on the 650b Ram, I believe I was able to attain, if not come close to that. In fact, I think I bent the metal clip straight so I could lower the fender up front (it was originally bent forward as shown in the Riv video to mount on another bike).
