I don't really mountain bike. I do a lot of trail and off-roadish riding on a bike with a steel fender up front. And I've caught (and broke) a few sticks in it. Most of my bikes have plastic fenders and the front release clips drive me bonkers when I'm riding and catch them and fenders yank out. Seeing the response in this tread about the woman whose Honjo crumpled surprises me. Like others the one reservation I'd have about doing "real" mountain biking with metal fenders would be in how long the front fender hangs down, which could make hopping/riding over stuff hard. -- John Speare Spokane, WA USA http://cyclingspokane.blogspot.com/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
