ps - the front coverage is standard for the raceblades. I used an Origami
front fender on the seat tube to complete the rear fender coverage (cut and
reshaped the origami, etc)

I agree that the Riv solution works well, since I've successfully used this
method on a bike with no eyelets. But why pay $11 for a pair of heavy duty
band clamps when much cheaper P-clamps ($2/pair) do the same thing and cost
a fraction?
Here's how I used P-clamps to secure SKS fenders:
Not perfect, but finishes up the fender coverage. The whole fender set
comes off the bike in seconds, and only takes a couple of minutes to
install - easiest to install with the bike on a repair stand, so you
can work at eye level.
Maybe not perfect, but pretty good. You were able to get

Hardware store variety? Any concerns with marring
Matthew, I'm delighted with it. I like being able to remove it in no time,
since looking forward to putting it back on is not a threat. Smoke test
this morning - rained last night and I'm going out for a 25-mi ride before
the next rain gets here at noon.

The hardware store P-clamps will rust. Are the higher end ones stainless
steel?

No concerns. The P-clips come plasti-dipped, and additionally I used a
strip of that rubber shim material from Blinky mounts. You can kind of see
them if you look close enough in those pics.

The Tubus p-clamps are stainless. (#3 on Wayne's page
http://www.thetouringstore.com/TUBUS/Fit%20Solutions/FIT%20SOLUTIONS%20PAGE.htm).
Their 2-bolt design is far superior; you separately secure the clamp to the
bike, and the rack to the clamp.
I added rubber and tape shims to protect the stays.
Tim, that looks much better than using a P-clamp. The chainstay bridge is
not drilled on my Custom so I have to use a P-Clamp but it moves a lot and
I have to fiddle with it sometimes on rides to reset the fender clearance.

just got back from my ride, and the rain just started, but the wet paved
path I rode this morning is covered in sandy washes
Using the pdw origami on the seat post worked great

Definitely doing the trick. Thanks.

I currently use a plastic clamp salvaged from a reflector for the chainstay
fender mount on my Riv Road (undrilled chainstay bridge). I'll probably
replace it with a 2-bolt Tubus clamp next time I remove/replace the
fenders. I too have to fiddle with it at times.

OK, these were shot in really tough light about 8pm last evening, but show
what I did with the pdw origami front fender.

Thank you. The pictures are real helpful. Looking at the hardware I was
not exactly certain where everything came together.

I prefer to have my bikes set up for aluminum fenders and the tires of my
choice; however, if you're shopping the used market etc, these will make a
racing style bike more useful.
I am with you on that 99% of the time. My road bike is a custom Tom
Kellogg made as a tribute to the great
I have full Honjo fenders on another bike. But we're having El Nino and
monsoon rains this summer and, if I want to ride my new bike, these work
great for me.

I recently went looking for fenders for a cross frame with no bosses for
anything. I looked at everything. The Crud Catcher gets the best review
for being the closest to full coverage fenders, though I can't find its
tire size limitation anywhere - Crud Catcher claims it doesn't have one.
ps, I looked at the Topeak DeFenders at a local bike shop, and they're not
much more than old style shorties

They're fiddly to set up, but go on and off in a few minutes. Get a spare
set of the fuzzy centering
