I've had a pair of flat Woodys on my LHT since 2007. As fenders go, I find them completely adequate for moderate rainfall. Anything harder than that, I figure I'm going to be soaked anyway. They do well with puddles, etc...and I'm now playing around with a mudflap on the rear since a fellow tourist was complaining about my rooster tail recently.
Honestly, though, I bought them for the looks and have never regretted it. They stand out from the crowd, and it's surprising how often I get asked about my "old bike." Installation was extremely easy, and I've been thinking about removing and refinishing them since they're starting to show some wear, but I'm in no hurry. http://gspiess.wordpress.com/the-bikes/2007-surly-long-haul-trucker/ On Saturday, October 12, 2013 10:25:59 PM UTC-4, WETH wrote: > > Having donated the plastic Planet Bike fenders from my Atlantis to my > wife's new orange Surly LHT, I am searching for a new set.
