The older Tanaka fenders were made in a different factory, and had some issues
with radius consistency. The newer ones seems more accurate, and come a bit
longer + pre drilled. We asked them to start using the honjo style 2 bolt
clamps instead of darumas, because they put way less stress on the
Was thinking of getting some Tanaka fenders - Somafab store has them in
powdercoated creamy white to match the Grand Randonneur frame. (

about these fenders as compared to the Honjos and the Berthouds.
When I did a Google sea
I was looking at the Brass version they carry. At the price it's worth a try.

An example of a Euro-style workstand is the Park PRS-20. You have to take
off a wheel and the workstand will clamp on the dropout ad support the BB
shell.

Compare this to the more normal Park workstand, where clamping is at the

no, there is no load on the fender - that is the point of aligning the stay
in the rod bolt - not where it looks it ought to be, but where it relaxes
the fender.

I installed Honjos last month, and the real trick to these is the lateral
position of the stay in the fender rod bolt. The front is usually
symmetric, but it depends on the alignment of the fork hole where the

I'm with Franklyn regarding the Tanaka fenders. I've got a 26"x60mm set on
my Atlantis and it took an hour or two to install, *after* I gathered all
the necessary hardware and tools (spacers, drill, etc). It's not hard work,
but one needs to be patient and knowing the tricks of installing metal
Great, thanks. They are shorter, but not as short as many plastic fenders,
and I always install mudflaps.
How does the quality -- gauge of the metal, design and quality of the
fittings -- compare with Honjos or Berthouds? (VO's, at least the pair I

Though I haven't installed a pair on a Riv, I have installed two pairs, one
on a Raleigh One-Way and the other on my repainted 80's Specialized

And they come in a moderate 559 size -- great! and the price is not bad.
I'll be curious to learn of anyone's experience about the quality and fit.

I'm thinking of a set for the hilsen over some jack brown tires. I'm kinda
