• The bike is up and running but I am not done with it yet.
    It's been a bit wet recently so I am looking into mudguards.
    I am also currently testing alternative mounting hardware with a Pelago Rasket because the canti brake straddle wire is in the way of the fork crown mount. It seems to hold up quite well but looks a bit bodged so I'll take those two metal strips with me over Christmas. The plan is to use my dad's workshop to round off the edges and give it a black rattle can paint job.

  • Tidy. Some stainless tube with flattened ends would have been my preferred method.
    Remember thread locker on the bolts in the fork - or move the attachment to the hour glass braze ons and use a longer bolt with a nyloc nut on the other side. Better to be safe than sorry

  • Yeah, totally agree but I don't have any means of making that here. I was looking for off-the-shelf solutions and these plates have exactly the right length. I did originally plan to use the hourglass braze on but it doesn't fit. Thread lock is definitely a good call.
