Bob Jackson Vigorelli with mudguard eyelets ok?

  • Hi!
    I'm interested in @rogan 's Bob Jackson here
    for velodrome use and neither of us know if the mudguard eyelets would be an issue at LVV. Do these count as braze ons?
    Can anyone spot any other issues I might have? (Obvs no bottle cage attached)
    Thanks!

  • i reckon you would be fine

  • Id let you into Glasgow.

    I inagine the worst that'd hsppen is you'd be asked to apply some padding and 'leccy tape.

    As they're something an 'outdoor' bike would have they might attract closer scrutiny to your bike, so make sure it's spotless etc.

  • @Yukirin You'll be fine. I've been on HHV with my old mercian vincitore with mudguard eyelets without any bother. Main thing is track drop outs, no brakes etc,
    Nice frame btw, did you pick it up in the end? Complete bargain!

  • Aye, picked up the frame, forks, CK headset and wheels. Paint was all bubbled on the rear triangle but the metal underneath is sound. I won a tange lugged stem and bars off hubjub in an instagram competition, Essex white but ties in with the white Romin saddle really well :)
    Hope to have it all finished up for spring, I'll be hiring the condors up at LVV in the meantime.

  • You'll be fine outdoors, on a wooden track they would take you outside and shoot you!

  • Twice. Just to make sure ;)

  • That doesn't make sense as the only way it would come into contact with the board is if the wheel came off as the axle bolt is the most sticky out... and then there are bigger issues than a 5mm eyelet.
    I was thinking more about rider safety.
    I'm going to have the rear wheel nutted and have it rideable by end of November as I can now do L2 skills.
    @RPM @bigsteve ?

  • That stem is epic!

  • Thanks!
    LBS swayed me into not getting the eyelets removed yet. Hoping to take bob HH winter training on the 20th Dec, and LVV on the 14th Jan.
    I'll report back if I get shot.
