I am currently investigating putting full fenders on my Allez Sport…but googling and looking at the bike has shown me it might need some B-engineering. No mounting points. Got any suggs for me? Engineering is my career, but look forward to your input.

cheers,

“Braze-ons” are so called because they used to be attached by brazing them to steel frames, which is like soldering two metal pieces together with hot molten metal. Braze-ons are any gizmo attached to the frame, even if they’re not actually attached by brazing these days.

Bosses are protuberances — in the case of the video, the bosses shown are screw holes for mounting bottle cages and racks.

Nicely done!

Is there a difference between braze-ons and bosses? Is a “boss” the metalpiece that fits into the braze-on?

great video, nice music to it too. I liked the way you detailed “seat post (not saddle post) and saddle (not seat)”

Hey, Mindy, you’ve hit the nipple on the head.

Nipples is a godsend tag for this video. I expect this will get it lots of extra views…from confused blokes expecting something else entirely.

I also tagged it with ‘bottom’ [bracket]

Thanks for the link, CbB. And, thanks to Tim – and others – for helping me to spot the English-isms. Most of the American names for the bike parts shown are listed underneath the ones I’m familiar with.
