I'm about to mount SKS P50's over the 700x45 Marathon Plus' on my Atlantis.
The included 5mm bolts with the fenders don't quite fill the fork mounting hole but a 6mm bolt seems fine. I recently installed some SKS hardware on my XO-1 with Sheldon Fender Nuts / dremel tool so I'm familiar with the need for some sort of spacer to move the front fender mount out from under the fork crown race. Any suggestions on hardware or technique? As an aside I'm a little sensitive about how easily the paint cracks on this bike and don't mind spending a little time and expense to get it right. I read a comment about this in another post and then noticed that the lock n roll seat post lock I installed this weekend has cracked off all of the paint on the outside of the post where it clamps. If I had it to do over again I'd probably find something to fit in the pinch bolt hole to absorb some of the force. This hasn't happened on my XO-1, the paint is much more robust. Finally, what's the best way to mount the rear fender to the threaded seat stay bridge? My inclination is to flatten the mounting tab on the fender and drill a hole and mount the 5mm bolt through a nylon or aluminum spacer, I have both. Thanks for the thought and consideration, it's reassuring to be able to tap into the wealth of knowledge. Oh! I bit on the Viyella shirt Grant started hawking .... it is very well made and has the great non-smelly wool quality though it won't get much use in the summer time, the searsucker will though! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
