Where to get a Sheldon Fender Nut?

quozl

I was a sad panda last night after finding that my up to 28mm SKS mud-guards wanted to attach at the fork where my tiagra front brake is attached.

But I found this - it's awesome!

Anybody know where I can get one? In Dublin or delivering to here?

It's a nut for the back of your road calipers which is itself drilled to accept a M6 bolt. So you can mount the fenders to that.

I was thinking last night how stupid it was that my recessed caliper bolt wasn't drilled like that, and it turns out that people make them! Awesome

I just put the Fender on the other side of the fork, between the frame and the caliper.

Bend the top of the retainer clip forward and put a spacer in behind it so it doesn't chew up the paint on the headtube.

Works just fine!

Holyboy in bee cycles got one for me

Mr. Grieves

I ordered a pair of these today as it happens. I only need one for the front - do you you want the other one? I think they're different lengths though so the rear one mightn't be any use to you.

BTW I ordered from here: http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/problem-solvers-sheldon-fender-nuts-per-pair-prod18687/

Silly money for something so small, probably shoulda asked in Bee Cycles if he had anything suitable.

I've got one from Gilles Berthroud for e3.50 + 3.50 shipping. You need to email them to get lower shipping price, though.

Thanks a lot for the offer, Mr. Grieves I'll want front and back so I'll try that site that Alkos mentioned.

I mounted the fender in front of the front fork last night, DirkVoodoo. Excellent idea but it's a short enough fender and my feet and drive train would get too manky. I may even stick a small mud-flap on it in the end.

Mr. Grieves

I actually cancelled that SJS order. I may try fit the mudguard in front of the fork and if it doesn't work, use alkos's site. I emailed them about shipping but haven't got a response.

This is quite a traditional business, I've been waiting a day or two for the response myself.

Great news - emm, for me at least!

Bee Cycles have one in stock and I'm getting it after work.

It didn't take long for this thread to descend into Lord of the Flies, every-man-for-himself style shenanigans Wet feet will do that to a man, you know.
