Michael H. mentioned that fenders can get in the way of most roof racks,
and he's right. There are products one can buy that raise up the front of
the bike, but I've found that they are really expensive (for what they are)
and they don't seem to hold the bike that securely -- it seems like the
I recommend cutting the top off the fork crown bracket on SKS fronts with a
hacksaw file.This among other things makes it very easy to remove by
allowing you to slip it on/off the bolt or front-rack bolt when
removing.The secu-clips on the rear thing is another good optimization
In addition to the suggestions above, Problem Solvers makes a convenient
gadget they call a Fender Flute that can be used to lower the front
fender on bikes with considerable fork clearance. It can be purchased from
on-line retailers for about $16:

I just did a couple hour test ride. This is a great day for fenders, with
melting snow mud and runoff slopping everything. They worked fantastically.

I created the Rivendell Cheviot group awhile back. In the spirit of inclusion,
I've modified the group name to Rivendell Mixtes. I hope all mixte riders will
share their fun; Glorious' , Wiburys, Betty Foy's, Yves Gomes', Cheviots, and
the soon to arrive, Clementines. Have I missed anyone?
Thanks all! I really appreciate it. Turns out, thanks to you all, I am

Last year I bought my wife the Betty demo bike as they were going out of
production. Of course it came as a complete package, including fenders.
When I put it together, it took me a long time to get the fenders to fit
around the 40 mm tires. Today I pulled the bike out of the basement for
Bloom with a small amount of water and Stir more for sweeter coffee. Also get a
bean that's been roasted less.
