Kool Stop brake pads

Dose this include the hard to track down Salmon V-Type Brake Insert?

Quite soon we will have:

Giles Berthoud stainless steel mudguards, maybe the bags and saddles too!
Dave, any idea about the widest Gilles Berthoud 'guards I can use on a Sherpa? Thanks, Kevin

No idea at the mo, we are yet to get them, I expect the 50's will fit fine though.

Kevin,

I put these 60mm planet bike fenders on my Sherpa and they fit fine.

http://ecom1.planetbike.com/7027_5.html

So I imagine the 60mm GB fenders would fit as well.  I have some 60mm GB fenders I haven't installed and measured them they are the same actual width as the PBs.


Safe riding,

We will only be able to get 40 or 50mm ones.

This rather limits tyre sizes that can be used, as I understand the tyre must be 10mm smaller than the mudguard.

You can run a 50mm fender on a 50mm tire, but you will need to raise it a bit, relative to the top of the tread, to ensure there is adequate clearance at the edges of the fender where they curve down.  Also a 60mm fender will provide better protection from spray compared to a 50mm fender when used on a 50mm wide tire.

GB makes a 26" x 60mm wide stainless fender so if you really want a set I'm sure you'll find a source.  I spent a fair bit of time tracking mine down.

The Planet Bike Cascadia ATB fender is a very nice plastic fender that is 60mm wide if you aren't 100% set on metal.

Dave, you might want to look at http://www.wallbike.com/berthoud/fenderchart.pdf which lists the size of Berthoud mudguards required for various different wheel/tyre combinations. For example, 26" x 1.75" tyres are reccomended to use 650 x 50mm mudguards.

Thanks, though I will wait till they come and see, after all SKS think 45mm guards are too narrow for 26 x 1.75!
