I have Esge/SKS fenders on my bikes.* Here in Minnesota it gets pretty cold, although I basically don't ride below 30 degrees. Masochistic pleasure is not my cup of tea. Anyway, I have had two old-style Zefal black plastic fenders break in the cold, but the Esge/ SKS have never shown any tendency to this. *The Honjos are hanging up in the basement waiting for me to get around to build a frame for a randonneur bike. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
