Sorry I only have my Cosmo and likely will purchase another. May I suggest
you post it both on CL the list-serve then I will direct you to a web

and it's pretty awesome. I use them with V-O Porteur bars so not a direct
comparison, but I would think reaching back in the same plane from the

All the metal ones are pretty darn long. SKS non-longboards might be your
best bet to have the curb-hoppability you miss and the safety of a QR, and
your LBS will more likely be familiar with their installation.

I'm a little perplexed by your post. Is your fender hitting the curb? My
experience is that properly installed Al fenders are more stable than
plastic. That said steel fenders are more stable than Al.

If you roll right off of a high enough curb, you stand the risk of the
fenders striking the top of the curb as you descend, especially at *low*
speeds. I've had it happen. The trick is to get out in front of the curb
enough to avoid whacking the fender. So either you speed up a bit, or you
jump
Dave,

I agree with Christopher. The other thing I found with a long front fender
is I can't put the bike on my Yakima Roof Rack. With the front wheel off
the fender hits the car-roof before the fork tips reach. So with my
longboard bike, I just don't plan on putting it on the roof. For my Honjo

I love fancy bike stuff. I also do lots of dumb shit (going down stairs,
jamming my bike onto my roof rack, wheelies, etc.) The SKS chromoplastic (or
whatever) mudguards on my AHH always seem to bounce back. I'm quite certain
aluminum or steel mudguards would be completely destroyed by now.
The SKS longboards have the quick disconnects and move right out of way nicely.

Hi Michael,
I think, at least for the Al fenders I have on my 26 wheels, the front

It is very difficult to fit a fender made for 700c wheels fit onto a 26

Hmm... that is a good idea regarding redrilling the holes on the Honjos,
and rotating them further forward! I was thinking about maybe cutting the
fender, but never even considered this option that seems much cleaner.

Careful. If you're worried the 64 cm Atlantis will be too big, the 62 cm Hunq
will feel even bigger. This is because the Hunq's top tube slopes up 6 degrees,
while the Atlantis's slopes up 2.5 degrees. Every degree translates to 1 cm of
handlebar height. For me, the 62 Hunq fits like a
