Jason, Sorry about your fender incident. As someone else said, those PDW Safety Tabs will help you regain your confidence. I've been using them for about 6 years. Though I haven't gotten a stick or rock caught while riding, I once dropped the front of the bike onto the rear of the front fender with the wheel removed while loading it into the van. The safety tab worked just as it should and I was able to pop it back into place, no harm done. Paul GermainMidlothian, Va.

I figure this avoids the problem entirely. (No new front fender yet - maybe this'll be a fenderless bike for a bit? Unclear. One thing's for sure: I keep riding it) On Tuesday, 13 July 2021 at 22:17:49 UTC-7 Jason Fuller wrote: Cheers Eric! In the spirit, here are a few photos from this past Sunday's trip up the Seymour valley. I have a few new parts collected to install on the Bombadil, and an Albatross bar in the mail which I think will do the trick - kind of wish I bought both it and the Choco just to try, but alas, I have too many handlebars as it is. Going to swap off the knobby Ultradynamico for the slicker Cava's as well On Saturday, 26 June 2021 at 19:25:48 UTC-7 ericf3 wrote: Jason, you inspire me (I hope) --I used to be on the north shore on a bike weekly, pre-pandemic. But I have only biked past Burrard Inlet a couple of times since then. I really hope I can get back into the habit once public health protocols allow it. Meanwhile, I am hoping the oppressive heat leaves us soon...ugghh EricFVancouver BC -- You received this message because you are subscribed to a topic in the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
