After riding in the rain in Mill Woods, I was reminded how much I love fenders on a bike. They have zero effect on road performance (they weigh about as much as a bagel) and they add huge comfort. Not just in the rain, but any time there is damp or shmutz on the road surface. I LOVE 'EM!, as NORCO would say.
Cutting the bent bracket
Finished installation. Don't forget to round off the cut end.
I wanted SKS chromoplastic fenders in silver and black as I thought this would go [as] well [as possible] with NORCO's black paint and [garish] white trim. I ordered the fenders and was surprised when they came from England, of all places. Good old inter webs.
The SKS's are quality kit with stainless steel HW but the stays (wire mounting thingies) have to be cut to size to look good. I decided to bend them first, to trap the mounting nut onto the stay. I also put a dab of Loctite on the bolts to make sure vibration doesn't rattle them off.
One cut and one uncut stay.
The final result.
