I use waxed hand sewing thread (Hemingway & Bartlett V-346 or the beeswax +
hemp twine from Riv) and hand sew leather flaps with a straight stitch to
the inside of the fender through pre-drilled holes in the fender. I've been
doing it for several years in Seattle and now in Portland without issu
I assume my 'highwater' rear fender is one of those "I'm all right
Jack" flaps. It's a Jack Flap. I can imagine a situation where my rear
fender could cause someone an issue, such as moving to Portland, or
suddenly taking up randonneuring, but so far it hasn't been an issue.
As it is, the high fend
Hi Minh,
Yes, I bought extra draw-bolts from Velo-Orange, to keep the fender
from rubbing when the stay twisted around the single draw-bolt. I
moved the stays down at the same time. If I were to do it over, I
wouldn't move the stays down as far, and I'd affix the flaps Kelly's.

I saw two "I'm all right Jack" fender flaps in this thread!
"I'm all right Jack" is what Brit's say when something is working well
for them, and it's just too bad for you if you don't benefit as well.
The application to fender flaps is when a bicycle only has a front
fender flap. So the presence
Phillip. Did you use the two bolts on your stay aftermarket? My vo ones came

IMO they go outboard. With a good fender line inboard would put the
flap too close to the tire, and I don't want the flap to get sucked up
into the gap. That's less likely if the flap is a bit further away.

I had my mudflaps inboard, but they would flip backwards and make an
'origami fold' that poked out and touched the tire, which would drag
them up inside the fender. I would have to stop and fish them out. I
moved the flaps to the outside, and all's well. I do have them
attached with the draw bolts.

May not b as pretty but flat / very thin bolt head inside and nuts outside if
you are in mud or bad conditions often.
They (nuts) tend to catch leaves and such.
