Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Pinterest Bluesky Threads is there a quality fender option that stops before my seat tube clearance concern? by Sutekh77 Bicycling Biking Cycling Gravel Cycling Gravelcycling
Sutekh77 on December 25, 2023 6:07 am Hey all, I had some fun with a build. Needless to say, I pushed it a little close between the seat tube and tire, lol. I’ve got about 5-6mm there. I was hoping to get a set of fenders on here, but because of the clearance concerns, I’m not really comfortable wedging a full one in. Does anyone have a suggestion of a relatively stable fender w/decent coverage that would end before the seat tube/tire squeeze I have on this bike?

FranzFerdivan on December 25, 2023 6:12 am I wonder if you could slot a rear fender to clear the frame. An aluminum one would probably hold up for that
