I have the Compass version on my custom, which I believe is based on those. Plenty of allowance for 58mm Honjo fenders. René On Sunday, October 30, 2016, BSWP wrote: > My new Riv-ish frame is going to sport Mafac RAIDs, with brazed posts on > forks and seatstays, and I'll be running Compass 700

My new Riv-ish frame is going to sport Mafac RAIDs, with brazed posts on forks and seatstays, and I'll be running Compass 700c x 44mm tires, planning to use 52mm VO Zepplelins. I think I can live with the nominal 8mm over-coverage from that combo. I'll report back with impressions and images, b

My point was only that the Compass brakes are posted, and are now unique in set up.. You can't simply install them on any bike. Michael On Friday, June 10, 2016 at 6:29:22 AM UTC-4, Steve Palincsar wrote: > > > On 06/10/2016 05:59 AM, Michael Hechmer wrote: > > This is true. My wife, Pat, ha

Pursuing the paradox of more (supple tire width, fenders, brake clearance of both without contact at rest), I just installed Paul Racers and Compass Stampede Passes on my fendered Rambouillet. The center mount Racer caliper does an amazing job of keeping clear of the space reserved for tire and

If I was going to set up a Cheviut with fenders, I would run 38mm tires or narrower. 50mm without fenders sounds about right for the max. I don't have a Cheviut but I have owned 4 different bikes with the exact same Tektro big mouth brake calipers. I tried to get 42s and fenders on there, an
