Available now, carbon fiber fenders, stainless steel fenders, saddlebags, panniers and handlebar bags from Gilles BERTHOUD.

The carbon fiber fenders are ideal for brevet bikes. They are extremely lightweight and only 25mm wide.

Stainless steel fenders are very durable. In 700c I stock two widths; 40mm and 50mm wide. Berthoud's long design provides great coverage extending further back than ESGE fenders and have an optional leather mud flap in front. In 26" and 650b we stock a 40mm wide version, as well a 50mm version for 26" and 650 size wheels. All stainless fenders accept the optional leather mud flap. If you only ride alone, one mud flap is enough on the front fender. If you ride with others, it's best to have one on the rear fender as well.

Fenders of this type (Berthoud Stainless) ought to be a good bit wider than the tires you use. These are designed to wrap down around the sides of the tire. So, if you're using the 40mm fender, you'll want to use tires no wider than 30mm. The exception would be when you have a lot of space above the top of the tire, and not a lot of width. But in general you'll do better if the fender is 10mm wider than the tire. That's not the case with the carbon fiber fenders.

The bags are all beautifully made water-resistant cotton with leather trim. All models of bags are available in both black and grey fabric.

Fenders

Gilles BERTHOUD carbon fiber fenders are extremely lightweight. Without the struts and bolts, the fenders weigh only 78 grams. At only 25 mm width, they will fit on most racing bikes. On frames without dropout fender eyelets, you'll need to use "P" clamps to hold the struts. These fenders come with a full set of mounting hardware. $ 190.00 In Stock, finally! More specs soon. See the installation info here.

Stainless steel fenders are extremely durable. These are the best fenders for all weather riding over all road surfaces. No, they won't and can't last forever, as the constant flexing and vibration will eventually cause any fender to crack and fail. But these seem to last longer than any others. You can mount lights with confidence. 700c available in 40mm and 50mm widths. 26" in 40mm width, and 650 in 40mm and 50mm width. The struts are aluminum. Additional hardware can be purchased for spares. These fenders are designed for French touring bikes, which typically have a seat stay bridge with a threaded hole facing down. You drill a hole in the fender at the seat stay bridge and bolt the fender directly to the bridge. The same is done at the chainstay bridge. If your frame doesn't have these features, you will need to make fixtures for the rear fender. The simplest method is to drill small holes in the fender and wrap zip ties through the holes and around the bridges. Once the fenders are in stock, I'll mount a set on a frame and photograph the process so it all makes sense. See the installation page.

700c x 40mm stainless steel fenders complete with struts and hardware: $ 52.00

700c x 50mm stainless steel fenders complete with struts and hardware: $ 52.00

26" x 40mm stainless steel fenders complete with struts and hardware: $ 52.00

650B x 40mm stainless steel fenders complete with struts and hardware: $ 52.00

650B x 50mm stainless steel fenders complete with struts and hardware: $ 52.00

The 650B x 50 will also fit over 26" tires.

Parts for Berthoud stainless steel fenders are available. I stock the aluminum struts, all the nuts and bolts, as well as the fenders themselves without hardware. So if anything should be damaged in a crash, you can buy what you need to make repairs. See the Berthoud Parts page.

Coming: Spring 2007, 700x60mm and 26"x60mm stainless steel fenders. The price will probably be a bit higher. I'll know more soon, and the nanosecond I do know more I'll rush right to the computer and post every bit of information I have right here so you can read it. So there's really no need to call us day and night asking about the 60mm fenders, really, no need, I promise, really. ;-)

Add an oil impregnated leather mud flap for $ 14.00

The leather mud flap can only be used on the stainless steel fenders. It is not to be used on the carbon fiber fenders. Nor is it suitable for use on other brands of fenders such as Esge/SKS. So, if you want the mud flap, you'll just have to get the fenders, heh, heh, heh. The mud flap really makes the Berthoud stainless fenders special. The flap eliminates the spray that would otherwise be directed at your feet from the front tire, whenever the wheel is turned in a corner. It makes a big difference in how dry your feet remain during a ride.

Berthoud Decaleur & Rack Mount Handlebar Bags

Gilles Berthoud has a unique system for mounting a handlebar bag. It's more rigid than any other type. It's also a bit more expensive, and complicated. But if you want the best, this is it. It starts with a front rack. The bag is supported both by a front rack attached to the fork, and to the handlebar stem.

The Decaleur comes in several types for different stems. The bolt on the right replaces the handlebar fixing bolt on your traditional style stem. Part of the frame on the left is bolted to the rear top edge of the bag. You can see the four bolts, washer sets and nuts hanging down. Then the connecting rod (sticking out at the bottom) slides in connecting the bag to the Decaleur. $ 95.00

There are two lengths for the forward extension; 91mm and 121mm. And there are two types of fixing bolt to attach to the stem. One type works with the most traditional type of stem, styled like the old Cinelli 1A which has a horizontally oriented stem binder bolt. The Nitto Technomic and Technomic Deluxe have a similar horizontal bolt to clamp the handlebar. In the 1980's, some Italian stem makers began selling stems with a vertical bolt, like the one shown directly below.

So the four models of Decaleur consist of the two lengths, and the two types of bolts. An H121 would have the longer extension and the horizontal bolt. A V91 would have the shorter extension and the vertical bolt. I leave the reader with the scintilating prospect of guessing the other two designations. ;-)

As of March 2008, there is no decaleur for use with threadless stems, but Gilles promisses to have some eventually, so check back here.

The top of the bag should be roughly level with the handlebar. So, the height of your handlebar over the front wheel determines the height of the bag you use. In other words, riders with higher handlebars will use a larger bag. See the photo near the bottom of this page to see a bag mounted on the front rack. More photos soon!

This is a Berthoud adjustable front rack for frames using sidepull caliper brakes. It should work with any fork having lowrider braze-ons. The left strut on the rack pictured has a mount for a headlight.

This is a Berthoud adjustable front rack for frames using cantilever or V brakes. It should work with any fork having lowrider braze-ons. The tab extending to the left is drilled to accept the special "Silent Block Bolt" which attaches to a fork crown bolt from below. The right strut on the rack pictured has a mount for a headlight.

The rack can have a mount for a headlight (as pictured above), such as a Schmidt E6 or Busch&Müller Lumotec. The mount can be either on the right side, left side, or you can have mounts on both sides for a dual headlight setup. For more info on these racks, see the Berthoud Parts page.

These handlebar bags come in two styles. GB 2086, GB 2286, GB 2586, and GB 2886 have leather straps to close all of the pockets. They also have a zippered pocket on the underside of the top flap, and a card pocket inside.

The top flap on all of these bags closes with an elastic cord. The elastic cord is easily replaced.
