about a decade now.cheers,Andrew in Sydney

I have a set of Velo Orange Zeppelin fenders (fully fluted) on my rack bait
commuter that I've been riding year round for seven years. I don't think you'll
go wrong with the set you linked.
My V.O.s have weathered the seasonal precipitation and clanking in and out of
industrial bike racks enough to earn the title of being durable. The front is
long enough that I didn't have to add a ridiculous mudflap for good foot and
drivetrain slop protection. The rear I installed with the front end below the
BB for good protection for the drivetrain. No one follows me at my hours and I
don't ride groups on that bike so I don't have a rear flap. I do have a fender
mounted wired tail light. I ran its wire from the left chain stay wrapped
around the fender stay to use up excess, going under the fender almost where
the light's mounted. Maybe shonkey for a show bike but I wan't in the cut,
solder, shrink seal business at the moment. No damage, grounding events in
seven years.

Hello,Winter is coming <dramatic pause & queue GoT intro music>
And so fenders are needed. I have a Hunqapillar with some big 2.1" tires. My
fender requirements are that they must fit, be pretty and not too short. I like
long fenders because long fenders + mud-flaps keep the muck off.
Here's where I'm at...
- Planet Bike fenders are too short, I think. These must be for Californians
- PDW Full Metal Fenders are great, i have them on a different bike, but
unsure if the 55mm will fit my 2.1's
- The SKS B65 may fit the bill, it's what Riv recommends, but they look
really short (here is the riv link with pic) and... plastic
- Velo Orange seems to have some nice fenders in 63mm here they are
These are going to last a really long time so price isn't really a deciding
factor. I also want them to look good, because I'm vain. After typing all of
this it appears I'm leaning toward the VO fenders, how do folks here feel about
them? How's their longevity?
thank you,Johnny B in Portland
