Chapter Last- Ready To Ride
Complete Renovelo
The Renovelo project is complete and delivered to the customer. The final steps were wrapping the handlebars and installing the SKS P45 fenders. The Fizik Micro-Tex tape has a really nice feel and appearance and I know it’s durable. The P-45 fenders are sized nominally for 700c wheels and tires, but the 650b Nifty Swiftys are close enough in overall diameter that the fenders fit quite well with just a little bit of tweaking.
Bikes somehow look more complete with fenders
Nice racing stripes on the SKS fenders.
The Cane Creek brake levers have a shape that allows for a nice smooth, flat transition from the handlebar ramps. Good for comfort on those long days.
A decent fender line with 650b tires requires nipping the ends off the fender stays for a little tighter radius.
