I'll bring it in tomorrow and meet you at lunchtime. There's too much going on in the evenings just now. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10670#post-117360 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 18:28:04 +0000 kaputnik 117360@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>They brought me close to tears with how difficult the installation is! And that's with all the correct bosses and eyelets already on the bike.</p> <p>They claim to be lighter than plastic equivalents, feel the same to me. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10670#post-117355 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 17:20:53 +0000 DaveC 117355@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I have seen those SS shiney mudguards on a friends bike and want a pair. I just have to sort out how I install them on the front first. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10670#post-117347 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 15:35:37 +0000 kaputnik 117347@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>I'm a sucker for Shiney stuff</em></p> <p>wait till you see my new mudguards ;) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10670#post-117341 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 14:32:44 +0000 DaveC 117341@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Ah!!!! Now you're talking!!</p> <p>Great! Cheers. Am speaking to a metal manufacturer in the Midlands about a wishbone. He can supply Marine Grade SS and lazer cut to my spec, but also suggested it may be heavy and could do it in Aluminium! He's a mate through Diving so just sussing out whats this is going to cost.</p> <p>EDIT, oh err... Its very easy to rack up huge bills there! So much shiney shiney!! I'm a sucker for Shiney stuff, same when I dived, SS clips etc.. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10670#post-117325 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 13:41:42 +0000 kaputnik 117325@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Dave - freshtripe are a UK supplier of VO stuff;</p> <p><a href="http://freshtripe.co.uk/Freshtripe/Home.html" rel="nofollow">http://freshtripe.co.uk/Freshtripe/Home.html</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10670#post-117321 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 13:29:57 +0000 DaveC 117321@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Cheers Kaputnik but as its in Amerikan I fear HUGE postal fees!!</p> <p>You posted a good link on my FB page I think I'll revisit. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10670#post-117317 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 13:14:32 +0000 kaputnik 117317@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Alternatively, for a few dollars;</p> <p><a href="http://store.velo-orange.com/index.php/accessories/fenders/fender-hardware/vo-fender-stay-mount-for-eyeletless-frames-4mm-qr.html" rel="nofollow">http://store.velo-orange.com/index.php/accessories/fenders/fender-hardware/vo-fender-stay-mount-for-eyeletless-frames-4mm-qr.html</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10670#post-117315 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 13:02:20 +0000 DaveC 117315@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>That sounds good. Shall I arrange a visit to yours? I need to look at your bike rack anyway. You free one eve this week? After children are in bed ~8pm onwards? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10670#post-117313 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 12:56:58 +0000 Instography 117313@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I can give you a stiff plastic brake booster that would do the same job with much less weight. You'd need longer nuts for the brakes. I only bought the brake booster to get the longer nuts to attach front rack on another bike. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10670#post-117312 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 12:50:49 +0000 DaveC 117312@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Does anyone know where I can get 6 inch by 6 inch steel around 3 - 5mm thick? Marine grade stainless prefered but non stainless would do.</p> <p>I have new carbon forks for my CX bike but they have no mudguard mounts, but they do have canti brake mounts so I was thinking of cutting a wishbone shape out to mount the crown nudguard stay to and also the dynamo light.</p> <p>Cheers,</p> <p>Dave C </p>
