Bicycle Tidbits

Green Gear Fenders

I have a couple of sets of fenders which carry the Friday logo.  I like them because they : Appear similar to the fenders sold by Apex Mount and dismount quickly and easily Don't weigh much Cost about $30 a pair Work on a variety of frames and tire types Pack well in the suitcase Keep me reasonably dry Have a single attachment point

They are a good compromise for a person with several bikes, but not the ultimate in "keep dry" technology.  What I don't like about them are some of the same features listed above:

• The single attachment point allows them to vibrate in the wind.   
• They are able to cover my 2" knobies
• They are too wide and far from my 1 1/8" slicks
• There insufficient coverage (wrap) in the rear to keep the spray from my children in the Burley trailer

If you aren't towing passengers in a trailer and quick packability is a high priority for you, you should certainly consider these.  I was towing a trailer and I was seldom packing my tandem, so I went in search of a different solution.[ Next ]
