[RBW] Re: Fenders for bikes with big tires

The B65s are great. I had them on my Clem with 2.4 tires and was able to get the curve to follow the tire more perfectly than with any other fender ever. They ARE short but that's perfect for me too. Especially with such a long bike, I'm in the habit of standing it up vertically on it's rear

The only thing I could see would improve on the albastache is if it tapered in a way that would allow either road levers (like it uses now) and the bends and mountain levers on the ends allowing the user to decide what setup they wanted. I saw a moustache variant that was made that way. I would

Agree. I have Albastache bars on my new Riv-ish Custom, and they're really good. I had Moustache bars and then Noodles on my actual Riv custom over the past 22 years, and think these are the right bars for at least the next decade. - Andrew, Berkeley https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-kTnjBC
