Yeah, metal fenders with dual pivot brakes have that problem. I think Bicycle Quarterly had an article with Peter Weigle showing his installation process. An important part of it that isn't easy for amateurs is the forming of the area that goes under the fork crown. Peter has wood mandrels he has made for the purpose. Like I said, not easy for amateurs! Forming a flat area that extends forward to the brake arches is something I would like to do on a couple of my bikes.
A workaround is that you can back out the little brake centering adjustment screw on the Tektro calipers. That tilts the caliper in a way that adds a bit more clearance. I have successfully used that approach to fit fenders that otherwise weren't going to work. As for the daruma bolt - they are always too long and have to be cut. Getting the right length is really difficult. When you cut the bolt, put a nut on it below the cut, then you restore the threads by backing the nut off of it. Best to use a hacksaw rather than a bolt cutter. Ted Durant Milwaukee WI USA -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
