I see this as a reaction against the big players (Shim, Camp, and

be too long before everything was 10 speed and 10 speed doesnt play
well with others. I think going to a smaller company who is looking to

I have abandoned SKS fenders unless I have a customer who can't be
convinced to try something else. The Planet Bike Cascadias are a bit
less expensive, easier to install, give better coverage, and in my
opinion they look nicer (especially now that they removed the gaudy

How hot did I make it? Not very hot. Just warm it up so that when
you bend it, it stays bent and sets in the net position. The plastic

Kevin,
Here's something to avoid. I had a twisted SKS front fender once and
followed someone's advice to try putting it in a warm oven for a few
minutes. I preheated the oven to 250 degrees, turned it off, and then
put the fender in with the timer set for a minute. Unfortunately, I

Ginz -
How hot did you make the fender before you started to bend it back? I
have a heat gun but am somewhat hesitant to use it for fear that I'll
end up melting it or somehow making the problem worse.
