I've done Longboards and Honjos.
Rear wheel fender is usually not hard.
But mounting the front fender can be pretty involved require solution seeking.
Your LBS might have the hardware you may need to make it happen.

I decided I’d try fenders on the Quickbeam as it will soon have Barlow Pass
tires on it (and thus not knobbies to muttle the works). SKS. Turns out I
eventually am smarter than the stay attachment mechanism. Took me an hour to
get the first one and 5 minutes to get the other seven. Grin.

Your feedback makes a lot of sense. I think Grant said it well when he
spoke of tire width greed. Something else to play with...

My fender has always been bolted to my front rack. In the case of my AHH,
it may not be perfectly centered. I believe my 32 Open Pro wheel flexes
when I stand on the pedals.

Sure. I'll send you a photo later tonight when I'm home, but you will need
some metal spacers or cork to fill the gap, as well as a screw that is long
enough. I use the most forward of both.

I have to agree with you. The very first Rivendell bike I saw in person at
a Caltrain station was a green Sam H. and I fell in love with its color. On
my first ever visit to RBW, when I was test riding them and deliberating
between the Homer and the Sam, their different colors were a strong factor

When we went into Riv HQ for test rides the wife wanted an Yves Gomes
because she thought she wanted a black bike. I wouldn't let her pick black
and Vince graciously accepted the challenge to show us frames until she
picked a "real" color. He bent over backwards to drag out fr
Mark,
No offense intended at all, but I cannot see myself doing that on my bikes.
I'd rather go to a smaller sized tire if needed. While my sense of
esthetics on my bikes is very high, I cannot say the same for my sense of
telling apart different tires. I thought my Betty rode wonderfully with the
My wife's Betty has plastic SKS fenders over Hetres and they barely fit.
Not much room for hardware in the gap.
The clearance is as tight as it looks in this picture...

I'm facing the exact same challenge installing 50mm fenders on my Betty
with Hetres. Haven't solved it yet but will be filing down the daruma bolt
to shorten it enough so it doesn't rub.
The culprit is the silver front break, in my case. Will report once I'm
done, but it might be a few days.

I recognize that I'm pushing the limits of tire width with fender
installation, but thought I'd seen someone with this combination in a
photo somewhere.
Has this problem already been solved somewhere?
