Fenders

Has anyone had luck attaching SKS stays to a mid-fork eyelet? Possibly a dumb idea, but if I could avoid bending the stays around the disc caliper that’d be nice.

182

nope

183

stays to the lowrider mount has worked fine for me, shorter and stiffer

184

I’m more concerned about the edges rubbing into the stays. I’ll figure something out.

185

Is there a fender out there I can get for a 20" wheel with a 2" tire?

186

Xtracycle makes one, but it’s a front 26" rear 20 tire. They are pretty short though, and may work just fine if you don’t mind a little shade tree engineering. Fits up to a 2.4

These fit over the 1.75 marathons that they sell.

SKS has a 53mm, aka 2inches

Wald makes their balloon fenders in 20", use the rear on the front

I’ve tried every 20" plastic fender, they’re all significantly smaller and/or have shittastic hardware

you are being silly

if your stainless fender is rotating that much it’s gonna shatter pretty quickly

aluminum fenders are fully annealed and only get any temper from work hardening while being shaped, they’re too soft to win a frottage battle

Fred share your new fenders here.

Semi classy / functional long mudflap options? Building sup a classy lady bike and the VO fenders look naked without a flap.

193

what color

194

WWTD for fenders that need to clear a 26x2.25 tire?

195

I had not even thought that far. I suppose black or some variation of honey leather.

cut up a detergent/motor oil bottle into a nice shape

do you know these people?

shit looks pretty fucking great, someone finally made stainless fenders with a full-length front

berthoud style blade attachment with threaded steel stays is fantastic

also no fork crown daruma so the whole install looks to involve no cutting, drilling, or cold-setting; and can be done with the wheels on after the rear is bolted to the chainstay bridge
