I had the same problem. I screwed the bracket to a piece of old chainring. Works good. https://www.flickr.com/gp/136422809@N08/76JnX7 Howard Livonia Mi -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and sto

Excellent idea! I'm going to give this one a shot. Wish I had thought of it... On Sunday, March 12, 2017 at 5:21:22 PM UTC-4, Steve Palincsar wrote: > > > > On 03/12/2017 11:17 AM, Alex Wirth- Owner, Yellow Haus Bicycles wrote: > > If you have a presta valve nut (or 2) hangin' around, use that to

Ooops, sorry, I didn't know they no longer came with the tab. The Riv catalog still uses photos with the tab, but has a note that the tab is longer included. John On Sunday, March 12, 2017 at 6:44:09 AM UTC-7, John G. wrote: > > Hi, > > I could use some help--I've talked myself in circles, and

+1 on mounting your Edelux to the tab on the fromt of your Nitto 32F. I used the front light mount that came with my Edelux II, a brake washer to keep it from slipping and a tamper-resistant allen bolt from https://www.bicyclebolts.com/ to keep people from running off with it. John On Sund

Appreciate all the advice, everyone. Going to try spacers on the side tab, starting with Alex's recommended hack. @Bill, my 32F does not have the front tab. I guess the newer versions no longer have it... On Sunday, March 12, 2017 at 12:05:03 PM UTC-4, Bill Lindsay wrote: > > I have always mount

Boulder Bicycle has an adapter that might help. You may still need to experiment with spacers (available at most hardware stores) but I have these on two bikes and they have worked well. http://boulderbicycle.bike/Bags-and-Racks/Nitto-Racks-and-hardware/light-bracket-for-edelux-or-cyo-headlight

Photos would help in this situation. But if you want to mount a dynamo light to one of the eyelets on the side of a Nitto 32F, you can use a Problem Solvers Sheldons Nut for a lateral spacer. Or, you could use a Soma Wingmann to mount the light a little lower and ahead. This is a commercial prod

I have that same rack. I purchased some spacers and custom made some aluminum plates from the hardware store and it has worked well for a few thousand miles. Good luck! > > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubsc
