[image: B372A765-5F4B-42DE-A241-4387D0682850.jpeg] I like the use of an alt mount option even though I have a pump peg on mine. I love the double tubing of the Atlantis and don’t want it crowded with a pump. On Saturday, January 21, 2023 at 11:01:26 AM UTC-8 J C wrote: > I like the QR idea. >

I just finished the install this evening. I needed to slightly squish the rear fender at the chain stay mount and do the same for the front fender with the fork. Clearance wasn’t compromised however it added a certain level of difficulty to the front fender install. I still need to finish

Just received them today and made my initial marks/measurements with Sharpie and blue painter’s tape. I aim to drill tomorrow and the day after. I’d rather take my time than make a mistake and need to start all over. As of now, the Flat 65 looks like it needs to be slightly tweaked at the
