[RBW] Anyone using this iPhone mount on their Rivendell's quill stem?

2014-07-21 Thread lungimsam
Says the mount fits stem tubes 25-44mm wide. Nitto quills are 20. Was wondering if they actually fit the narrower Nittos. Thanks. http://www.quadlockcase.com/products/quad-lock-bar-mount-pro -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Actually I don't see why they don't do eyelets a plenty on Roadeos for maximum options on a fast bike. I don't think it defeats the purpose for light commuters, Randonneurs, or roadies. What I don't get it the placement of the chain stay eyelet for rear fender. How do you fender that? Seems s
