After asking the group for fender recommendations, I bought Velo Oranges
stainless. I found them to be too heavy, and they did not give me enough
tire clearance. I then went and looked at Woody's wood fenders and found
them to be too heavy too, and too thick for clearance with my 2.25 tires.
I believe that grips are included with the Clems. Riv decided to include
them at some point, it's in the Blug. Those rubber grips look good,
though. Is that kickstand seen on El Sapo's Clem included? I don't recall
reading about that anywhere.

I have commuted with Supremes on my Hillborne for several years. They get
almost no flats, and are much much lighter than any other "flat-proof"
tire. The trade-offs are right for me, but I was on Marathon pluses before.
No time for flats.

On Monday, October 26, 2015 at 7:32:56 PM UTC+2,
About cutting "divots" in the fenders to fit between fork legs and stays:
This will, obviously, make the fenders at least slightly weaker and more
prone to flex. But are not the fenders supported largely by the stays? Or,
could one not reinforce the trimmed area with a metal bracket?
On Mon, Oct 2
Yes, you could easily mill away some cutouts so the fender fits around
narrow stays. SKS chromoplastics are very easy to cut with a roto-tool
like a dremel.
Cut slowly and carefully. Any cut you make creates a future weakness for
cracking, so keep your cutouts nice and round.
On Mon, Oct 26, 20
Sure. I'd start with a lighter reinforcement, like metallic tape (for
furnace ducts).
The rear of the fenders are well-supported by the stays, but the section
forward of the fork is only self-supported. If you tack it to the bottom
of a front rack it would be pretty secure.

Hi John, the Supremes run pretty nice. A heavier/slower than JB Greens, but
more puncture resistant. Not hugely though. I don't have any experience

Maybe run some Slime tubes for extra protection?
