Get the SKSs from Riv, or even better, the SKS fenders with Berthoud aluminum stays from Peter White. I have them on my Sam, love them: http://www.flickr.com/photos/25150...@n08/5185320523/ The 42mm fit great over Jack Browns. Lighter, longer, cleaner looking, no chance of snagging anything on the uncut SKS stays, and only marginally more expenive. Easier to install, too, if you were considering cutting the SKS stays (Aluminum so much easier to cut than stainless steel). A win/win/win. Don't know why Riv doesn't stock them. the sks/berthouds from peter white have been back ordered for months. Believe me, I'd like to get a pair. -sv -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Bowing to pressure, I now have fenders on the Roadeo, ensuring that not a drop of rain will fall on me. And I'm happy. I can stop worrying (not that I was very worried, I ride a lot so I know I'll be fine) and look forward to the fun of the ride. The bike shop tried to sell me those imitation fenders. I was not fooled. -- -- Anne Paulson My hovercraft is full of eels -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

I strongly second this, with a warning. Don't be tempted to fall in with some people who are just a bit faster than your comfort zone. My first 200K I did that, in a 30-40mph headwind, and it blew me up pretty spectacularly. No telling how easy finding someone who rides at your speed might be, though. It took me from 1974 until 2010, riding at least one century almost every one of those years and 6 or 7 the past 2 years, for me to find someone who was riding at the same speed I was for more than 0.3 mi mi or so on a 100 mi or longer ride. I'd totally given up on the idea and never expected it to ever happen. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

RE: [RBW] Re: Advice for brevet
What applications are you using on the iPhone? I have a similar mount on one bike and was curious if there was a decent application for bike computer use and gps use on the bike.
