Note that Bill's bike has traditional metal fender/stay attachement.
The set I had the trouble with had plastic bits that came unfastened
when I hit bumps.
IIRC my set was actually mixed. The front fender (still on the bike)
had the traditional metal bits. The rear had the pastic attachment
points. I gave that fender away to someone who is more mechanically
inclined than myself.
I replaced the rear fender with a Rans fender. This also has a new
style fender/stay attachement. It does not allow adjustment of the
stay length the way the old metal style does, but it has stayed
together.
BTW, on a recumbent, I mount the front fender backwards. Mounted
correctly, I still got spray on the underside of my legs, plus I got
blow back from the top side. Mounted backwards, The bottom spray
really isn't any worse, and the top side eliminated blow back.
It also eliminates the issue about hitting the fender on curbs and
such.
This was on a medium height BB bike. On a low BB bike, I might have
reached a different conclusion.
