SKS has-&-we-are-getting a stubbier flap as aftermarket (doesn't come with, but is available). But as the responders here said: Low good, flexy means no problem. We picked the longer, since it still clears the local speedbumps, on both 650B and 700C. Lowest possible scenario is rigging the finder t

I commuted for many years with a mud flap that was a couple of inches off the ground. You will not be able to use any variety of fork mount roof top carrier, but other than that, no problem. michael On Mar 25, 5:27 pm, Steve Wimberg wrote: > Hi all, > > I just installed a set of Longbard fender

I believe the same is accomplished by adding a leather mud guard to a metal fender. I've done that on my Atlantis with Berthoud fenders and I get excellent protection from splashes and also dirt and dust. My BB shell now stays clean. The tradeoff is I cannot hop off curbs but other than that, it's

The problem I see is that it will be really difficult to get your feet wet with the fender that low :) Seriously, you paid extra to get it low. Enjoy the dry feet! On Mar 25, 2:27 pm, Steve Wimberg wrote: > Hi all, > > I just installed a set of Longbard fenders on my 60cm Rambouillet.   > The b

I don't think that length would be a problem without an additional stay. I've got a few fendered bikes, Honjo and Berthoud, and most look about that length or slightly longer and they are pretty solid without support. I did put some long Honjos on my Paramount http://www.flickr.com/photo

I've eye-balled these fenders, too, since they've been listed on the Riv web site with great curiosity. I like their length, the built-in flaps, and the way the look in general, too, but a question I have is: how stable will that additional extension on the front fender be without something like a
