Many will tell you that a bike that looks that good with fenders should never be run without fenders. That's a stunner. As you think about your fenderline tweaks, consider running a pair of Sheldon nuts. For bikes of that type, I think it might be the smartest route
That said, I still do it (occasional fenderizing and defenderizing): The trails out my backdoor (Wildcat Canyon) can get muddy, and so for winter mudding the fenders have to be able to come off. That applies to two bikes. My roadiest bike sometimes has the fenders off when I'm feeling a weight-weenie attack, or when I want to run THE FATTEST possible tire. Finally, I had the chance to throw my Hilsen into my sister's trunk for free transport to Southern California, so the fenders had to come off. Now I'll get to ride all Christmas break. Furthermore, I might leave the Hilsen down there all the way through Strada Rossa! On Thursday, November 7, 2013 8:20:37 AM UTC-8, Tim Gavin wrote: > > I finally mounted fenders to my Riv last night.
