Fenders for your bike.

written by admin on April 22nd, 2007 @ 12:22 AM

Its da Season when getting caught in a shower is inevitable !

If you are on a motor bike or a car it might be time to cuss as rampant traffic jams get even more impossibly rampant. Not on a cycle though, as long as you dont mind the occasional drenching !

But still, unless you like scraping mud off your back (or bag) its time to put back the fenders(mud guards). Last thursday it rained a bit, I thought the ride was awesome, until I got home and figured that there is a ton of mud on my back ! Yuck !

Picked up a pair of Firefox fenders and installed them on my Target. Installation was pretty simple, once we figured how the front set fit.

Overall the set are very light, look sturdy and are easy to remove when not needed !

    Hi, The fenders look sturdy. Dont you think the rear fender is a little short? It doesnot cover the rear of the wheel fully (cannot even attach a long rubber flap since it will come in touch with the wheel). Hence there is a good likelyhood that the guy behind your bike (say a scooterist) will have nice patterns on his shirt when it rains.(not to apeak of the grimy feel in his mouth when he opens it to yell at you!!). Rohan: Thanks for the advice on the Kid's bike. And once again, Best wishes on your venture. It feels good to see the way you(and your friend) pursue your passion. Reading your blog, I wish I were 30 years younger!! Rgds Prabhu H M

    The fenders are long enough to make sure that no mud gets sprayed on your back. But not too sure about the folks behind you :) Thanks for all the nice comments about us.
