Hey fork folks,
I have a problem with a bike I’m building up (a steel touring disc brake frame from Nashbar that will be here in about a week).
I ordered this steel disc brake fork fork to go with the frame but just found out it’s on backorder for about 3 months (!!)
In a part swapping exchange I ended up with an almost new Hylix full carbon 29er fork and a set of 29er disc wheels. The problem with this fork is that it has no eyelets for fenders (which is why I ordered the steel fork from Nashbar). I planned on selling this along to someone who needs it.
Obviously, I can’t wait 3 months for the fork I want to come in so I am looking for ideas/thoughts on attaching the front fender to the carbon fork perhaps using a P-clamp (the fork arms are pretty big) or perhaps some other way to attach the front fender to the fork or quick release?
Or, I guess I can try to find a different touring/cross steel fork with the fender mounts I need at a similar price ($50). So far, no luck on that in my online searching.
Any ideas out there for a guy who doesn’t want to pay more for the fork than the frame?
