[RBW] Re: Any metal fenders have QR like longboards?

my buddy mounted the skinnies on his Mercian. They were the closest things that came to fitting his tight clearances with 23mm front and 25mm rear. He made mount mods and they gave him fits. He couldn't finish a ride without them rubbing somewhere. He finally gave up. They are beautiful, th

Anyone try the PDW metal fenders ? https://www.ridepdw.com/goods/fenders/full-metal-fenders-city Includes front and rear safety releases. They have extra cut outs in the fenders for zip tie install. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch"

Looks like there is a hardware, with which you can use SKS-type stays for metal fenders. Here is a blog post by Velocraft, a Japanese bicycle shop: http://www.c-w-s.sakura.ne.jp/cws02/2014/02/velocraft_3.html (The article is written in Japanese, but you can get idea from photos.) So, with these ha

[RBW] Re: Any metal fenders have QR like longboards?

Like a rubber tube that fits over the stay, and then you clamp the tube in the clip? Sounds promising. Better idea than a Silly Putty failsafe connection: pull it slowly like taffy, but a sharp shock will shear it off clean. Knead it back together to reinstall. Philip www.biketinker.com On We

Re: [RBW] Re: Any metal fenders have QR like longboards?

I think BQ has shown some (British?) bikes with mid-fork fender stays. I do like the look of Pudge's example. My V-O fender clips never clipped very tightly, and I've definitely knocked them out with sticks. I just bought new stays, though, expressly to have a tighter fender mount. Now I'm i

[RBW] Re: Any metal fenders have QR like longboards?

Your question is one I often ask myself too. Love the look of metal fenders, but... The thing is recently I wonder about the danger difference, since while plastic fenders with QRs might not have the wheel jam at the fender stay, if something gets in there big enough to lock the wheel wouldn

Re: [RBW] Re: Any metal fenders have QR like longboards?

Yes, it at least looks deliberate. Just like the front facing dropouts look deliberate. All disky bikes should have the dropouts facing in a direction so that braking forces pull the wheel IN, not OUT. The thing that weirds me out about that bike is I can't see the stay on the other side.

Re: [RBW] Re: Any metal fenders have QR like longboards?

My deep sympathy goes out to anyone who has had their metal front fender crumple up, lock up their front wheel and cause harm to body and bike. I had a front hub lock up on me when I was young, throwing me over the bars with zero warning, and it was a huge bummer. Thank goodness I was going s

Re: [RBW] Re: Any metal fenders have QR like longboards?

Jan has addressed this issue many times over the years. He has certainly put the miles on metal-fendered bikes, on dirt as well as on pavement. Me, I'd use metal on my road bikes if my fenders stayed on year 'round, but here in 5"-a-year westside ABQ, I install only for the monsoon and thus like p

Berthouds use plastic clips for the stays that experience has shown will move when the fender gets hit from the rear. The Berthouds stay in alignment better than SKS chromoplastics. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubsc

[RBW] Re: Any metal fenders have QR like longboards?

they really don't self-align - they snug nicely at the brake/crown mounts, but you have to align the rear third by the position on the stay dharuma, and the tail end by the length adjustment on the stays. On Tuesday,
