I agree that it is beyond belief that a bike shop would not have the bolt- not only the bolt, though- it amazes me that they don't have the know-how and actually allowed a bicycle with an unsecured fender to leave the shop "as is"
That, to me, is a huge red flag and I would immediately abandon the shop. Though that may seem extreme I suffered greatly following a high speed wreck due to an unsecured fender. It also makes me wonder, what other safety issues is the mechanic oblivious to? FWIW, in the off chance there was a packing error and that clip was omitted a quick email to the friendly folks at VO would help turn up a spare part. Also, as others have mentioned, a drill, some low-profile bolts, a small "L" clamp, and a nylon or leather washer will also be a suitable solution. Good luck finding a reputable shop! -Robert, SLC On Friday, March 13, 2020 at 8:34:37 PM UTC-6, Steve Palincsar wrote: > > It is beyond belief that a bike shop would not have the requisite bolt. > > Steve Palincsar > Alexandria, Virginia > USA > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
