I now own two sets of fenders on two bikes, one SKS, the other Zefal. Both of them twist to the side
on the portion of the front fender that protrudes from the front of the fork. This is annoying,
primarily for cosmetic reasons but also because they come closer to rubbing. I tried removing the
front wheel and bedning the hell out of the fender in the opposite direction, but that plastic stuff
is tough and it bounces right back to the off-center twisted position. Any tips? Could heat get them
to deform?
Side note: I like the SKS fenders better, I only wish the 35mm version were round not squarish. The
Zefal fenders came with stays that were too short (only about 32cm long, as compared to the SKS 34.5
cm) - why not make them plenty long, you can always trim them? Also, you have to trim them back to
fit in the clip mounting system which blocks the ends of the stays, no going back after you do that.
Thirdly, that clip mounting system is crummy.
Is there a third option besides SKS or Zefal for thin road fenders?
