After I finish my weekend shifts I'll send you a copy of the fender installation instructions Rene Herse (nee Compass Cycles) put together with Peter Weigle.
Bicycle mechanics is a lot like learning anatomy and physiology; structure and function. If you can determine one, you can surmise the other. Trying to learn "The 175 Steps of Bicycle Fender Installation" is a mindlessly bad pattern that much education seems to copy, when seeing the situation, getting your hands on things and observing the results (sounds familiar to other processes) really plugs this task into your mind. With it you are able to overcome variables and apply your skills as situations evolve and obsolete that list of 175 steps. Off into the new world today, not sure what's coming next, but not my first round of plans changing on the fly.
