What kind of spring?  Hardware store or more special than that?

 Has anyone used a modestly stiff coil spring for this?

 yes.  works like a charm!  i have a very clean fenderline with
 long(ish) horizontal dropouts and can remove a 40mm tire with no
 fuss.  the axle rests approx. smack in the middle of the dropouts.

[RBW] Installing Fenders Question

2010-05-12 Thread Johnny Alien
So I installed some SKS fenders on my wife's bike and you know the
rear fender how it attaches to the bike near the kickstand bottom
bracket area?  Well in cases where it creates a big gap between the
fender and the tire is there any type of spacer that can be purchased
to go between the fender and where it attaches so that it doesn't look
awful?  The rest of the fender looks fine and then there is that big
gap at that point.

Best solution is to take the cork from a bottle of wine and trim it so it
gives you the proper spacing. Then just drill it so you can use a screw/nut
of the proper length. On the SKS fenders, you may have to remove the metal
tongue that is meant to hook over the tube between the stays and avoid using
a screw if my memory serves me well...
