Re: [RBW] FENDERS ON THE CHEVIOT

[Bob Lovejoy]

Thanks René,

Very much appreciated... I knew that at least 50's would be needed but I 
was unsure of clearance through the brakes.  I think the plan at the moment 
will be to go with the r559's I have (with 700x50 fenders) but change to at 
least a front center pull once I get settled.  I am in the middle of a long 
distance move currently so real bike time is not possible.

Your bikes come out beautifully by the way!  Once I have sufficient time, I 
want to study your pictures and comments more on the rear center pull 
mount.  It looks perfect!  And thanks for trying different options and 
letting people know what you found.  It is most helpful...

Re: [RBW] FENDERS ON THE CHEVIOT

[René Sterental]

For those tires you'll need 50mm metal fenders, either steel Berthouds,
aluminum Honjos or any other brand. They will fit with the Tektro brakes,
but when opening the brake to remove the wheel, the brake will push down on
the fender. You might also lose a bit of clearance with those. Switching to
a Paul Centerpull or the Dia-Compe 750 on the front will help. On the rear
you won't get any extra clearance by switching.

BTW, the Paul centerpul is wider than the Dia-Compe, but both will clear
the 50mm metal fenders. I like the Paul's better after comparing both
directly. I also went with a rear Paul mounted in reverse, just because I
wanted both brakes to be the same. Previously on my Betty, I ran the rear
Tektro/Silver brake.

Re: [RBW] FENDERS ON THE CHEVIOT

[Bob Lovejoy]

All, 

Sincere apologies for this question, as I think I must have missed it in 
previous threads...  

What metal fenders (Tanaka, Berthoud, Honjo, VO, ???) can be used for the 
most possible clearance using the r559 brakes, front and rear, on a 60cm 
Cheviot?  I am planning on using 700x40 Schwalbe Marathon Supremes and got 
lost in the potential (metal) options.  I know the DC 750 or the Paul 
center pulls would help, certainly on the front, but am wondering if there 
is a chance anything will work for me with the r559's that I have.

I would definitely like to go with metal/stainless fenders but will do what 
I have to until I can get into full project/experiment mode.

Again, sorry if this has been asked and answered!  But any help would 
definitely be appreciated...

Bob

Re: [RBW] FENDERS ON THE CHEVIOT

I agree. A Cheviot without fenders (metal in my case) is like a...
something's missing!

I'm just going to keep the Cheviot to a minimum with acessories  and just a 
Nitto Long Boy rack on the back.

Kudos on the fender nut. Only way to go, unless your brake bridge is drilled 
for a fender.

Nice fender line. And what? No front load?
