These fenders add a classic feel to my bicycle! They were very straight-forward to install, too.

Very good instructions and product. Installed without problems. For wide tyres ( 51mm Rat Trap Pass Rene here) these are at minimum wide enough. The fenders should be wider, 74 mm?

Enough said

Clearance is OK for 2.35” wide Schwalbe Big Apples (assuming you aren’t riding where rocks and branches will get under the fenders).

Some photos and notes on the installation I did the Xmas before last:

I bolted the rear fender to a mending brace (clamped in turn to my work table) to hold it in place while sawing a cutout for chain clearance.

Be sure to allow generous clearance for all the extra bouncing and swaying such a long run of chain will do.

I recall using a lower profile button head screw at the base/front of the rear fender for more generous tire clearance.

Problem Solvers' fender flute is a nice touch at the fork.

I think I would have liked an additional Single Hole L-bracket for the rear fender, for looks. Then again, the crimp-on bracket allows for mistakes/experimentation and it’s likely that bags on the Big Dummy will mostly hide whichever bracket you use. (The fenders come with one of each type of bracket.)

It’s easier to see where V.O. uses the leather (dampening) washers in the color photos found in the online version of the installation guide.

My understanding is that if you rely on the bolts at the attachment points to flex the stays (and fenders) into their ideal shape, the constant tension coupled with road vibrations will cause the metal to fail sooner. Take the time to reshape and bend the stays and fenders perfectly before you bolt everything in place for good.

Really high quality build, came with generous hardware kit. Plenty of fasteners and fittings to suit any configuration. Fenders look great.
