Peter: If you do try the Simworks fenders, please let us know how they work. I considered those, but decided "no" because I didn't want to pay $135 + shipping for fenders that stay on for a couple months a year, and because I got a steal on my SKS 65s.. But I'd still be curious about how they fit over G Ones/Big Ones.
Btw, Kelpie Cycles in Fort Collins makes custom titanium fenders for fat tires; I talked with him but $300 or more per pair was just too rich for someone who lives in an area with well under 10" of precipitation a year. But his fenders are truly beautiful. Patrick Moore On Sat, Jan 5, 2019 at 11:14 AM Father of Sam <beardedpe...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Kurt, > > I'm looking to do just the same.
