But metal fenders never get out of whack, hardly. I've banged the trailing edge of my Berthoud front on a curb, hard, with a good part of my weight, when riding off of it, and the blow shoved the fender forward but it was still very rideable. A blow and a push shoved it back again. And metals don't warp when you carelessly lay your bike down in a cramped cargo compartment the way SKSs do. My experience, anyway. AND, metals are even easier to remove and re-install than the plastics. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
