How do the Berthouds compare to the Velo Oranges? VO gives the dimensions to theirs at 6.5 X 4.5; are the Berthouds similar?
Per VO: "VO fender mud flaps are cut from 13-15 ounce Wickett & Craig fine harness leather. The leather is oiled for durability and long life. Mounting hardware is included." Any reason to prefer Berthouds over these? (Particularly as I can get free shipping for the VO on Amazon.)
