Manny, thanks for posting the pictures. As always, they're winners.
That's a great looking Hillborne in your set. I feel like I haven't
been spending much time reading or looking at RBW related stuff but
after looking at your set I'll have to look around on the Flickr
page.
I'll be in SF in 2 week

I can't imagine how you would do that. Normally you drill a couple of
holes down at the bottom edge of the fender and bolt them on (to

May not b as pretty but flat / very thin bolt head inside and nuts outside if
you are in mud or bad conditions often.
They (nuts) tend to catch leaves and such.

I think the flap should go outboard, because if it is inboard it could
disrupt the flow of water out the bottom of the fender. That said, in

First off - glad you are okay. Possibly could have been an overheated
rim. On the other hand, had a similar rim failure early this year on
my LHT (which is also a winter commuter). My LBS concluded that a
small stone (or something similar) got stuck in a brake pad and
quickly cut a deep groove i
I did touch the rim, and it was hot. However, I've touched other rims on the
same descent and they seemed hotter. I never rolled faster than 10 mph when I
started the descent. I scared. So, I was on the brakes for about 3/4 mile on an
18% descent. The tires, tubes and wheels have been mated for
Were the rims particularly narrow? 32mm isn't all that wide, but "fat"
tires on narrow rims can lead to catastrophic failure. I wouldn't think
this is the situation, but maybe one more variable that lined up against
you today. Glad you could walk away from it and hope you're not too
shaken.

No. I used to run these same wheels on my Canti-rom with 28s, but I've been
using 32s on them for several years.

I've seen maybe fifteen rims fail this way, and ever time it's been
caused by rock-wear, as Eric suggested. That's not to say nothing else
can cause it, but that is (in my experience) the most common (100
percent) reason for it. Rim makers and tire makers build more wiggle-
room into their stuffs t

I'm wondering if the heat caused the tire to blow out, and it was the
force of the tire blowout that then destr

Oh no!
Zip ties are the answer.
They may not be appropriate fasteners for 'fine Rivendell bicycles' but face
it, they really are da bomb.

Actually, they are Grant-approved and so quite appropriate for Rivendell
bicycles, but certainly n

Well, kind of glad to hear that -- only 15. I need a new rim now anyway, so
maybe I'll BART out and show you guys the wheel and the failed section pretty
soon. You guys -- and maybe Rich -- might offer a conclusion that would

some other folks on this list. (By the way, I'm not suggesti
After Eric's and Grant's responses, I went back downstairs and took a long hard
look at things. I removed the right rear brake pad and found a strange groove
cut into it, about the width of the failed rim piece. I tried to take a photo,
but it doesn't show up well. The other interesting thing,

I had my mudflaps inboard, but they would flip backwards and make an
'origami fold' that poked out and touched the tire, which would drag
them up inside the fender. I would have to stop and fish them out. I
moved the flaps to the outside, and all's well. I do have them
attached with the draw bolts.
Looks like thin side wall issues. Same thing happened to me lucky not
on a decent down.
