I have photos of my Big Apple shod, PB fendered, Monocog 29er: http://picasaweb.google.com/bertin531/PUBLICODDSANDENDS# The front fender struts are attached high up on the fork legs, which makes it more flexy but also (I hope) will keep it from jamming the tire if a stick gets caught in it. I more recently swapped the double zip ties for plastic seatpost reflector brackets to fit the very fat fork legs. Presumably these provide a backup QR, since (again, one hopes) they will break if a stick gets caught in the front tire. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
