[RBW] Re: Fender Brands (Besides SKS) That Work On A Sam

My Sam is a 650b, but i do have Tektro 559's. My tires are Soma Grand Randonneur 42s, so are probably close to yours in diameter and even wider. My all-time favorite fenders are Portland Design Works Full Metal Fenders (city size). They are 700c x 45mm size. I mount them to the brake bolt in

[RBW] Fender Brands (Besides SKS) That Work On A Sam

Yeah, metal fenders with dual pivot brakes have that problem. I think Bicycle Quarterly had an article with Peter Weigle showing his installation process. An important part of it that isn't easy for amateurs is the forming of the area that goes under the fork crown. Peter has wood mandrels he

I'll agree with Jay here - I think the Sam with 42s would be a great fit for your needs. That said - the Jones is so very versatile. I've got a Jones Plus with 2 wheel sets. One with huge knobbies on velocity Dually rims and another with large (2.3) slicks on carbon jobbies. And my oh my I

I'd take my Jones over any Rivendell any day. However, you sure the 24 Plus is your size? I'm loving my Rosco Mixte and think I'm smaller than you and ride a 25 Jones Plus. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe
