Ah. I am too lazy to run down to the parts box and check but my recollection of that the crown attachment (for Japanese alloy fenders) is 1" consistent with the diameter of the head tube. I wonder if 1" ring spacers such as for a 1" threadless stem would work better. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
