Bill- I have some sheldon's fender nuts, but I didn't use them because I didn't have any bolts that fit them (fenders had one size smaller in hardware). I understand that they make de-fendering easier (no need to remove brake caliper, etc), but I don't see how they'll improve fender line. They move the front fender rearward an inch or two; how does that help? I appreciate any advice; this was my second ever fender install.
Nice thing about using a pickup bed as my main bike transport: no need to remove any wheels, fenders, etc. Just lay it on the side and close the topper. So I'll probably leave these fenders on for a while.
