I’ve also read where some folks keep a small piece of rigid foam in their bike bag to wedge between tire and fender to equalize the “pressure” exerted on the fender by the 1Up bar. Quotes around “pressure” because you don’t need that much...certainly not enough to damage a fender. Nice idea,

Leah, 1up makes a “Fender Cushion”, which is a piece of cylindrical foam, wrapped in a soft material which attaches with Velcro. The Fender Cushion wraps around the little bars that ordinarily press into your tire. Works fine, though you could make these things yourself with foam pipe

It’s tough to tell, I agree. Well, maybe bending it back was the wrong thing to do? I don’t know. I hope the “master mechanic” at REI knows about fenders and is as particular as we folks on this List are. I hate to admit this, but I ordered these fenders from Amazon. I needed them to get here

Even worse when it's 9 pm and you're installing shift cables and you mistake the front and rear cables, install the rear cable in the front shifter and cut it to size... and then try to install the other one in the rear. Momma said there'd be days like this... On 11/26/19 7:11 PM, Mark

I feel for you, but this is very funny. Never heard this expression before. Yeah, working on bikes can be trying at times, especially when you think everything is good--but it isn't. Just last night I was putting on some new handlebars on a bike. I got so into setting up the bar-end shifters, I

Hmm, it’s tough to really tell but it does look narrower in the picture The other tricky part is as you bend the fender narrower or wider it changes the overall radius as it relates to the wheel. (That’s how a “pro” installer gets the fender line perfect) Sorry this is causing stress, I’ve

It’s been one thing after another. I didn’t update this post yet, but I managed to install my new stem a few days ago. I was so proud of myself for actually accomplishing this very easy task, but when I went for a test ride, I felt like the stem was no different. I looked more closely at the

Probably a goofy thought butif one preferred the name Clementine would it fit if a bike decal maker made a same size / color decals of ' entine 'to mount beside the current Clem decals? Someone may have already thrown that idea out there for consideration. Paul in Dallas  -- You received this

PS I forgot to say my sister didn’t buy this Clem because her husband got her one for their anniversary. A 2019 bronzey green one. Maybe it was also a gift to himself, because she had completely stolen his 59 grilver Clem L. That’s love, folks. ❤️ -- You received this message because you are

Ian has asked a very fair question, and I’m happy to answer - I am an open book, ask away! Why does Leah have a perfectly fitted Clementine but plans to sell it in favor of a less well-fitted Clem L? Because: 1. Leah is not immune to beautiful details. 2. Leah is a minimalist. The Clementine

When you find the sweet spot for fit, all concerns over frame size will evaporate. Just some small tweaks can make a big difference in feel, so it's worth persevering. Reed Kennedy on the 650b list made a method for perfectly replicating fit from one bike to another, if you wanted to perfectly
