Thanks Grant and everybody for your replies. I hear you - you just
adapt to however your weight is placed on the bike that day and get on
with your life As a kid I used to haul about 80 copies of the
Chicago Tribune in one of those ginormous Wald front baskets on an old
Schwinn ballooner, an
It looks like I'm good to go. I'll apply a bit of loctite to stop
slippage. The weight in my Barley is just a couple of pounds; pump
tubes, tools lock etc. and I think the Vivas and strapping the Barley
to the seatpost will work fine

Someone, I don't know if it is Honjo or not; perhaps Jan Heine of Bicycle
Quarterly, recommends thick leather washers between metal fender and frame.

Thanks for the responses. I have a feeling I'll go with the Honjos.

Just wondering which SKS fenders you have? Some of the ones I've seen

The all purpose solution, Blue Loctite, will help with slipping loops,
though I do use a VO bag support on the 29er thanks to the absurdly big
wheels.
I've carried 25+ lb loads in saddlebags using Viva loops and have had no
problems with breaking or slipping, but I've not done this continuously fo
It's been a pretty good saddle for me. I'd recommend some sort of saddle
support if you carry much stuff, though. My loops haven't slipped but I use a
small bag (Carradice Zipped Roll) and don't carry much in there. I think I'd
use a support if I was carrying much more...

That Berthouds are more apt to dent than Honjos arguably supports that

Yeah, I'm running that combination. It's a little narrow, but I turned the
loops outward slightly at an angle and the straps go through them okay...

When I put Berthouds on my Ram I was surprised at how easy they were
to install. They were actually easier to install than SKS.
I think the Berthouds tend to be a little sturdier. And they're
certainly cheaper. But man, those Honjos look nice...
--~--~-~--~~~---~--~-
I have had bad luck with Honjos. One set was installed by a well
regarded custom builder. The other by one of Chicago's better local
bike shops. In both cases, relatively minor mishaps wound up knocking
the fender out of line and I was never able to get them to work
properly afterwards.
I have
The 559 45 mm Honjos I have are at least as stiff as the Berthouds I used
before. In my experience -- Honjos, Berthouds, Velo Orange metals, all the
plastics -- the metal ones, properly mounted, vibrate less than the plastic
ones.

I found on my AHH with 45mm Bertoud aluminum fenders that there was an
occasional vibration between the front fender and the Silver brake. A small
piece of inner tube glued I used Barge cement) to the top of the fender at the
contact point solved the issue nicely and you can't even see it.

Have a couple of the mini racks. Use them on the Atlantis and
Hillborne. Find them quite useful. But both bikes have braze-ons for

My AHH that ships today has a Mark's Rack on it (I think Keven held

The material on the rubber soled shoe could work. I have only used
