Plastic fenders are great until they break or you lose one of the little bits that goes with them. Plus plastic fender make the whole bike look like crap (in my opinion)
Regarding stem length and fit; here's an old rule of thumb I've used for 30 plus years: When on the bike with the seat height property adjusted. Put your hands on the grips. Then look down at the front axle. Ideally, in my experience, your hands & possibly the handlebar itself should be directly in-line. In other words with a line extending from your eyes to the axle, the hands should be in that same plane. If the axle is in front of your hands? then a longer stem, behind? shorter. On a drop bar typically the bar itself should obscure your view of the axle. Now I should qualify this; this isn't an official fit rule; It's my own. I've just noticed over time & many, many bikes that it tends to be true. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
