Oops. Deleted my previous post becasue I just realized I was asking the exact same question that Mark was asking in the other thread, which was what initiated this thread in the first place. Didn't really see an answer yet though, so let me simplify my question:
I don't worry, in theory, about drilling up through the rear fender, for attachment directly to the seatstay brace. What I worry about is the fact that, because of the curvature of the seatstays on the clem, the hole on the brace is not oriented axially toward the center of the wheel (or fender). It aims several inches forward of the axle. So bolting tightly to it would put a lot of stress on the fender, and deform it or pull through after some use. Or would bend the bolt if I used a spacer. It's a pretty significant angle discrepancy when you see it in person - at least on the 59 clem. Does anybody know of another elegant way to do this? Perhaps by adding a second bracket between the factory clip and the mounting hole? Or using spherical disc brake hardware, or something of the sort, to compensate for the difference in angle? <https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-CxfsKVBYFI8/VoRQhj_W9nI/AAAAAAAAAPU/pdALB3QGZ58/s1600/fenderstay.jpg> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
