I switched my VO Zepplin fenders to the SKS Velo 29er <http://simplecycle-marc.blogspot.com/2013/08/err-towards-practical.html> fenders and have really liked them. They are super inexpensive and normally slip on and off of a little metal tonque mounted on the fork and rear bridge. I used zip ties on the Hunq because the Big Bens didn't allow much clearance but you might like them. I got lucky and found a paint color to match the Hunq's grey.
