They threw you a problem, and you solved it! You did a great job no I am going to have to contemplate metal fenders for my Sam! Edwin On Monday, July 20, 2015 at 6:41:56 AM UTC-5, jeffrey kane wrote: > > We've been using my wife’s new Cheviot (aka: the Mother’s Day Chev) almost > non-stop a

Found this on the Cheviot brochure. I'm not a fender expert, so I'm a bit confused. I've always used spacers for fenders with vertical drilled bridges. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and st

you did great, and it looks great. I had something similar with my daughter's bike, though not quite that extreme, used a long bolt and a stack of leather washers. On Monday, July 20, 2015 at 6:41:56 AM

I've found that I prefer the chain stay mounting to be a bit forward of perfect alignment to ease removing and replacement of the rear wheel. I use a spacer there, but not long enough to bring the fender to an equidistant position with the seat stay and strut placements. It's not really noticea

[RBW] Re: Cheviot bridge placement aka: adventures in fender installation

Funny, I actually have a VO Constructeur rear rack hanging unused in my garage -- and I thought about it -- but I don't want (or need) a rear rack ... and while, technically that solves the problem, I'm asking why does the problem exist at all? Ok, I get the idea of having the chain stay a hair

It's very unlikely Grant has a good reason why the fender mounting points are superior placed the way they are on your bike. Consider that flaw as part of your bike's personality. If you can't stand it or feel cheated by this flaw, call Rivendell and tell them what it will take to make you happ

Re: [RBW] Re: Cheviot bridge placement aka: adventures in fender installation

Yeah, you guys might be right-- or the truth is likely somewhere in between. Either way, I still have the front install to go … and to my eye it looks like it's going to need some similar tweaking as well. Will post up the finished masterpiece in time … -- You received this message because you

Re: [RBW] Re: Cheviot bridge placement aka: adventures in fender installation

It is also interesting that the mounting boss on the seatstay bridge faces the axle. This is ideal for metal fenders, but not for SKS and other plastic fenders. I've mounted SKS in this configuration and they have cracked. Now, I glue a piece of an old fender inside the real fender to make a

Re: [RBW] Re: Cheviot bridge placement aka: adventures in fender installation

For a long time I've preferred to bolt my rear fenders directly to the seatstay bridge, where my frames have this sort of threaded hole. I place a wide, thin washer -- "fender washer"? -- between head of bolt and inside of fender, and I've had no problems, even with a lot of dirt riding with fat fe
