Re: [RBW] Re: Photos of my Roadeo, set up for brevets
I should say that one person's opinion of what constitutes acceptable safe fender clearance may differ from another. In any case, fitting Jack Browns under the SKS P45s on my Roadeo takes careful installation to max out the available clearance. It is a tight fit. Perhaps tighter than some may be comfortable with. Nevertheless, Rivendell marketed the Roadeo as being able to do so and sold them like that. And I have never had any issues with my installation other than an occasional leaf getting caught and making a racket against the spinning tire. I am careful about running over sticks, etc. as any rider with fenders ought to be.

Re: [RBW] Re: Photos of my Roadeo, set up for brevets
Very interesting to know that Jack Brown's will fit under SKS P45s! My Compass 32mm Stampede Pass tires seem tight under my SKS P45s (albeit they are 13 years old, dimensions may have been updated since) Nonetheless I have been wanting to buy a pair of JBs for fenderless days and am now inclined to try the combination. Thanks for posting that!

Just a side note / PSA for forks with steerers threaded down low — which prob does not to be said for this group, but still — just make sure the quill stem expander bolt sits fully below where the threads begin on the steerer, regardless of whether the “maximum height” marker gets buried below the top locknut on the headset. - Max “over abundance of caution” in A2 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Re: [RBW] Re: Photos of my Roadeo, set up for brevets
Austin, when my frameset arrived from Waterford to Rivendell, the fork steerer was cut to length after Mark at Rivendell called me and asked how tall the stack of spacers ought to be. I sensed there was latitude depending on my desired bar height and future height potential. I decided to use the same height as the test Roadeo I had ridden prior to ordering. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Re: [RBW] Re: Photos of my Roadeo, set up for brevets
Some nice looking bikes on this thread! The White/Blue like John's seems to be a rarity--but it's such a nice combination. @Paul G: I'm also running the 46x30 VO crankset. I love that 46x30 gearing! It's currently paired with a lightweight Ultegra 11-28 cassette but I also have an 11-34 if I expect to do some significant climbing. Also, do I see 15mm of spacers on that headset? Did you replace the fork or did it come from RBW like that? Mine only has 10mm of spacers. Unfortunately, I can't help with fendering the Roadeo. I only put fenders on my Black Mountain Monstercross which has loads of clearance over my 38 Barlow Pass's.

Re: [RBW] Re: Photos of my Roadeo, set up for brevets
The bar is a 44cm Nitto 177 Noodle on an 8cm Nitto Technomic Deluxe. Crank set is a 46x30 Velo Orange Grand Cru 175mm. Pedals are Shimano 105 5700 era. I originally had SKS Longboards on but the front one broke so I replaced the front with a Chromoplastics version of the P45 with a PB mudflap attached to it that I had lying around. I chose SKS due to the ease of installation, they allow me to fit Jack Browns, and I can put the bike in my car (front wheel on) without ruining the front fender. I do agree that the metal fenders mentioned have better coverage and look classier...and if anybody has safely fit Jack Browns under them on their Roadeo, I'd be interested in your installation tips and tweaks. -Paul -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Re: [RBW] Re: Photos of my Roadeo, set up for brevets
Lovely! The setup almost exactly panders to my own prejudices. What bar -- make and model, width? And what is the stem -- make and model, and reach? Pro 5 Vis double? What teeth on the rings? What are those pedals? Iris cage: I approve. Curious: Why SKS fenders instead of Honjos or discount but still very nice Velo Oranges? Aluminum fenders IME are lighter, less flexible, give more coverage, look better, and resist damage sufficiently to make it worthwhile to consider them. Your Roadeo would truly shine with even the relatively thrifty VO aluminum fenders. I say this as someone who has used umpteen sets of SKS and PB and Bluemels and Avocet plastic fenders, as well as many Honjos, VOs, and Berthouds -- and Kelpies! That said, for fenders that resist abuse and damage, regardless of coverage or aesthetics or sun warping, SKS's and PBs rule the roost.
