Ooh. That's nice! I make my own fender mounts by bending a strip of stainless steel into a U, but Mitch's mount is way nicer (and, if my time counts for anything, cheaper). Here's a picture of my setup (the light is now an eDelux): https://picasaweb.google.com/107305917565128209357/VeloOrangeCyclotouriste#5180637123092075842 I do use an extra fender stay for support. On the bike I'm assembling now, I used a Honjo R-clip to attach the light mount to both the fender and the extra stay, which should be even more durable. The one above has lasted four years, though, so it's not bad. --glenn West Chester, PA, USA -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
