Uncle Sheldon suggests squirting silicone caulk into the quick release to keep the rattling down.

OK. Over two years of reading Forum drivel has just paid off. Thank you.

Obviously, you should be reading sheldonbrown.com instead of the forum, then.

My preferred fender. Mostly just to troll at this point. No quick release would terrify me… dry(ish) feet are not worth that possibility…..

In addition to the Full Metals I just got this as well, a Zefal Defender 29. I consider this a huge improvement over the fender you showed. This one will not move around and being closer to the tire is a vast improvement. Regardless, neither can compare to full fenders. Full fender just don’t block the spray, but totally change has the water “flows” around the bike. You really cannot understand until you use them yourself.

So I have the pdw full city fenders mounted on my Indy Fab and…. I am about to take them off. The toe overlap on this bike is just too much. This fenders will be great on my salsa colossal that has no overlap.
