Nice. Just curious… how come you didn’t put a fender boss on the seat stay brake bridge?
j,
i think the “L” bracket works better than the boss-under-the-bridge approach – we’ve tried both and are happiest with this. we’ve found that having a single point attachment generally leads to the fender cracking at that point – stress risers and all- and this system also requires less futzing from our suppliers.
And with the “l” bracket you get to use Sheldon Nuts.
Bike looks great! Real clean, guys. Nice work
