[RBW] Re: Helpless in Nevada: How do you secure this fender?
Leah, it's the front fender that can cause trauma if it fails. A rear fender doing something odd and interfering with your rear wheel is going to cause a skid, which will most likely be no more dramatic than you gradually coming to an unplanned stop. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

I was literally about to suggest that. “Salt Lake is close to a Vegas, right?” :) As for myself and the small crew I rode with, we do not work on bikes together unless it’s trail side. Pre-ride, there may be texting pictures along the line of “what should I ride?” or “I hope I can get this bike together in time!” Philip Happy for the rain in Santa Rosa, Cal. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

I hope you hang around the shop for the install so you can hear the mechanics saying "Why didn't he put the bracket on??

Woah, we have wonderful folks AND celebrity bike shop folks jumping on here! You guys are too much, and also you are the best. Salt Lake is a 6 hour drive each way and it would totally be worth it and one of these days I hope to visit. I ordered the parts for the fender last night and will have this done in Vegas, but I cannot lie; I wish I was watching you work the fender magic in Salt Lake, Saturday Mark. ❤️ Sent from my iPad > On Mar 14, 2020, at 12:32 PM, Saturday Mark wrote: > > > Bring it to Salt Lake City and Saturday Cycles can help! > > If you would like to do it yourself, we could send you all the parts to > easily attach on your own. > > > >> On Friday, March 13, 2020 at 7:44:19 PM UTC-6, Bicycle Belle Ding Ding! >> wrote: >> My dearest wish is to move to a city where there is a group of Riv people so >> I no longer have to come to public forums and share my ignorance about bike >> mechanics! >> >> Here’s my latest.

Bring it to Salt Lake City and Saturday Cycles can help! If you would like to do it yourself, we could send you all the parts to easily attach on your own.

You need one of these. It crimps on the fender and attaches to the seat stay bridge. 10 minute install and easy to do. https://velo-orange.com/collections/fender-parts/products/vo-sliding-fender-bracket-wide On Friday, March 13, 2020 at 6:44:19 PM UTC-7, Bicycle Belle Ding Ding! wrote: > > My dearest wish is to move to a city where there is a group of Riv people > so I no longer have to come to public forums and share my ignorance about > bike mechanics! > > Here’s my latest.

Your fender should have come with something like this: [image: rear fender clip.jpg] On Friday, March 13, 2020 at 9:44:19 PM UTC-4, Bicycle Belle Ding Ding! wrote: > > My dearest wish is to move to a city where there is a group of Riv people > so I no longer have to come to public forums and share my ignorance about > bike mechanics! > > Here’s my latest.
