As I mentioned yesterday, I decided to purchase instead of fabricate. The fabrication attempt consisted of old fender hardware and bent clothes hangers. This is as far as I got:
The next step was to acquire either coroplast or landscaping boarder for the actual fenders. I still like the idea of coroplast. It's lightweight and cheap. BUT, it seems like a chore to go out and find some (SEE: lazy)(Just you wait until next November, though!!).
Then, I realized I had a Groupon sitting unused. A quick call to the LBS to check the stock. Boom.
Hours later, I had the last set of Planet Bike Cascadia 29er Fenders.
Hours after that, and after some cramming and knuckle scraping, I had the fenders installed.
I have to admit, I veered toward the puddles on the commute to work this morning. Worked as intended as expected.
I will randomly post updates on how they hold up through the winter.
Until then ride safely, and keep the rubbery side on the ground.
