Your bike looks great as-is Joe.
I don't find fenders especially appealing myself. Neither in looks or dead
rattling weight, let alone setting them up.
I'd rather see the whole voluminous shape of the tire. visible tires
"look cool" .
It's like putting sauce on a really good grilled st
Used to be very much in the camp of fenders with rack. Even if the bike
didn't really want fenders (i.e. Surly Ogre). That changed this summer. Was
tired of always having to adjust the rear fender on the Hillborne with new
tires and having problems with the long reach sidepull brake on the front
Indeed I forgot about the v-brake situation, which would be a challenge
with these big tires and the fenders they require. Question answered! I
have the bag now (thanks Leah!) and the rack on the way (thanks Jamison!)
so they're going on and then I'll ride a while and probably decide it's
fine
Brake clearance is a good point since you have V-brakes. Fenders are a
safety feature for canti's since if your cable snaps the straddle cable
can't drop onto the tire and catch on the knobs. But they do pose
potential risks as mentioned - stay into the spoke seems unlikely to me,
since they t
That is definitely not good. I don't ride in mud but I see your point! 😳

I absolutely would not run fenders if I didn’t live in a rainy climate.
Aesthetics is part of it - I like the more muscular look of an unfendered bike
(bikepacking rigs representing an extreme example). Fenders also limit tire
size, can interfere with brake straddle cables, and in muddy conditio
See I agree with you and Jason, and I also agree when someone has the
opposing view on this topic. I'm ridiculous! 🤪

Fenders always offer a more finished look. They can also be removed for
dirt stuff... although I must admit that I almost never remove mine.

Patrick, what rear rack are you using on the 2003 Curt? Looks like Nitto
but not a model I've seen.

I am firmly in the "yes, you should also install fenders!" camp. I think
they'd be a great aesthetic addition to your custom, but also, I value
fenders for more than just rain protection: the keep whatever you may run
over from being flung towards you, ie animal poop.
I imagine some smooth 62'
I'd never set up my bike based on what other people think looks right. :)
But...since you asked, I think the kinds of bikes I want to ride always
look better with fenders.

Patrick,
Photo with new Honjos, did you install a rear fender on the front? Or is
that the normal front fender length for Honjo fenders?

I typically have my bikes with racks set up without fenders. The look doesn’t
bother me at all. I can’t stand a rack that isn’t level though...
I do live in SoCal so fenders aren’t typically necessary.
