Thanks Rob. My next pair of fenders will probably be metal. I was just curious why you liked them so much. I was under the impression that they are more rattley, but perhaps leather washers solve that. Also, I have never had composite fenders warp. Which brands have you had warping problems with?
Two years ago, my parked bike, locked to a pole, was backed into be a pickup truck. The rear rim broke (Mavic Open Pro), the rear composite fender was fine. I like my SKSs, but looking forward to some Honjos in my future.
