Fenders For Small Frame

Submitted by mk241 on Tue, 01/19/2016 - 5:42pm

Hi,

Can anyone recommend a set of fenders for a small frame (47cm) with 700x25c tires?  I haven't been able to find a fender that fits the front wheel.  I'm not sure if it's the small frame or the wide curved fork on the Trek Silque, maybe both?  There doesn't seem to be enough clearance between the wheel and the frame for the fender.  Visited my LBS, looked online, tried the SKS Raceblade without the extra flap on the front, all to no avail.  Any suggestions?

Winter Jacket Suggestions

The cycling bug has hit me earlier than usual this year!

I actually rode today (WHAAAATTTT?!) - For those of you who know me that may be a shocking statement!

I wanted to see if anyone had any recommendations for a cycling jacket in frigid temps.

I get the whole layering thing - I wear two merino wool base layers (so please spare me the preaching :).

I'd love to hear what jackets people use on a day like today.

I searched the message board for this topic but it seems like this hasn't been discussed in years (he ducks!!).

... for the wonderful Port Chester BBQ ride.  Nice group, nice route, nice pace, and terrific BBQ.  And your patience with mechanicals was greatly appreciated.

love the bike train

I took the CalTrain commuter train between San Mateo and San Jose last week. Loads of bike commuters riding the train.

I was impressed with how well organized the bike racks were in the bike car. Bikes were stacked four deep on both sides. Bungee cords were already attached to the rack.

To prevent bikes from being buried under others getting off at a later stop each bike had a yellow tag with the inbound and outbound stops the rider used. So all the Palo Alto bound bikes were stacked together, and all the Sunnyvale bound bikes were in the same stack. Probably 32 bikes could be in one car, with the rider sitting on the upper deck.

Nicely done.
