[RBW] Trimming a Fender

[Howard Hatten]

I had the same problem on my Atlantis. I used a zip tie to attach it to the 
bottom of my front rack. Problem solved.

Re: [RBW] Trimming a Fender

Is it rattling under the fork crown, or against the fork legs? If the
former, I've padded the top of the fender with a small panel of leather,
which stopped rattling.

I've also solved the rattling problem, again, against the underside of the
crown, by dropping the fender a bit on those bikes with enough room under
the fork to allow this.

[RBW] Trimming a Fender

[Kevin Lindsey]

I have my Hunq pretty nearly dialed in running perfectly.  The only sore 
spot - and it's not much of one - is that the front SKS Longboard fender 
rattles.  I've tried tightening it up, inserting a leather washer in the 
hopes that it might dampen the vibrations, etc., and nothing really helps.  
The problem seems to be that the distance from the fork attachment point to 
the front tip of the fender is simply too long; any small vibration in the 
fork (and there are lots of 'em) produces much greater vibrations at the 
end of the fender, causing the front to rattle constantly.  Has anyone 
tried trimming an SKS?  I'm thinking of lopping off about four inches up 
front, but I'm also afraid that loss of that much fender would leave me 
open to front tire spray.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Kevin
