[RBW] Fenders, dammit!

It must be a supernatural truth: removing fenders brings rain, adding them brings sunshine. Last night, after 2 weeks of sun and the calendar end of the "monsoon" at the end of September, not to mention no forecast of any real chancer of rain in the forseable future,I removed the fenders from the

Re: [RBW] Fenders and Rams

I have Longboards and Tektro Silver (not sure what "R" number those equate to) brakes on my orange Ram, and it works great with 28m Paselas. I've also put on 32mm Schwalbe Marathons for a trip on the C&O Towpath, which worked fine too. The Schwalbes seemed a little tight, but I had no problems

Re: [RBW] Fenders and Rams

Ryan Some have installed longboards, or SKS fenders on their Ram but there are also many who were successful in installing metal fenders. There are a couple things one can do to improve the clearance for fenders. What brakes do you have? The stock Shimano brakes are nice at stopping but the Tekt

[RBW] Fenders and Rams

My hanjos do not like my Ram with 32mm paselas. It worked but the crown was too shallow to mount the good way and the original brakes are pretty low. Has anyone put the longboards on a ram? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] fenders on 50's

hi i mentioned in a previous post that i put some Dureme 50's on my Hillborne. I am going to squeeze fenders on the bike ,but I don't know if I should purchase the SKS P50's or the SKS P55's. The P50's are for 700 x 45 or so, and the P55's are slightly wider but are really for 26" wheels. Does an

[RBW] Fenders for Roadeo

Would it be terrible to temporarily attach the front fender to my Roadeo with a bolt as usual at the fork blade tip, and zipties at the brake bridge? These fenders are just for a few days, and since I'm hopelessly bad at readjusting brakes I don't want to have to do it twice in a week. -- -- Anne

They certainly won't make it faster unless you have a rocket attached to them... I think it's mostly a state of mind. They do keep me cleaner, though! Brian Seattle (pouring down rain today) On Mon, Nov 1, 2010 at 8:51 AM, Eric Norris wrote: > Any thoughts from other riders with fendered bike

[RBW] Fenders and Speed

Any thoughts from other riders with fendered bikes about whether they make your bike slower? I've been riding my somewhat newly fendered Quickbeam lately, and it seems to be a little more sluggish than I remember it being in years past. --Eric N -- You received this message because you are su

Re: [RBW] Fenders and Tire issues

The VOs are good value but the cheaper aluminum ones are softer and bend more easily than the much more expensive Honjo Hammered. That said, I have 37 mm VO cheapies on two bikes and, no problems. Honjo Hammereds are very nice. Berthoud stainless are very nice, too, but IME the Honjos stand up to

45 Honjos with Silver sidepulls and 35 Paselas = no touching or rubbing, but tight clearances. Jack Brown's had plenty o' room. Brian -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To post to this group, send email to rbw-owners-bu...@goo
