Fenders are for sissies, but they keep your back dry when the roads wet

Most of my problems are on an old road bike -- lots of clearance for a road bike. The rear fender has broken from fatigue twice. I think I've broken three in about the same time span (all rear fenders also). I've also found sufficient duct tape will provide trouble free continued operation for a few months at a time. These mounting brackets also go out of adjustment regularly, leading to the fender rubbing on the tire. This I haven't had troubles with. Most commuters use 20-year-old bikes. I'm lucky if mine last two years. :-/ -- Dane Buson - "It isn't pollution that's harming the environment. It's the impurities in our air and water that are doing it." -Dan Quayle |

Don't know why I said "fall" in my previous post - there were plenty of them on the wet pavement and in the rain the last couple of days. As for "yum", mash them up with road grit and grime on the inside of a fender, and you see if you want eat one, even sauted in butter and garlic. -- Warm Regards, Claire Petersky http://www.bicyclemeditations.org/ See the books I've set free at: http://bookcrossing.com/referral/Cpetersky |
