Cheers I wonder, though, how much dirt and water they keep off ordinary rim brakes which sit below the fender. I've never really watched the water-flow off the inside of fenders. I washed about a pound of crap out of my fenders the other day with all the blow-down from the recent ice-storm/treepocalypse. -- Jay Beattie. |

Yes, come to think of it I remember the scraping brake sound on wet days despite my fenders. I suppose stuff flung up into the rear fender does drip down onto caliper brakes and rims. -- - Frank Krygowski |
