FENDERS
Front Fenders
All of our front fenders require that the left stay have a 30 degree
bend 3” behind the fork mount loop to clear the brake caliper.
On 20” front fenders,
we trim the backside so it will not scrape going over curbs and bumps. The front fenders have
single stays instead of double stays.
INSTALLATION
1. Bolt the fender top tab to the FRONT of the fork using
6mm x 2” bolt. Center over tire and tighten.
2. The left fender stay needs a 30 degree bend 3 inches
behind the attachment loop to clear the front brake
caliper. We usually do that for you. If you have to bend it ,
just make sure the bend is in line with the flat plane of the
loop.
3. Attach stays to the 5mm threaded mounts in fork using
5 mm bolt and washer.
4. Adjust stays to center fender over the wheel by
loosening the stay nuts and sliding the stays while centering
the fender.
5. Tighten all nuts. Trim the ends of the stays with bolt
cutters or hacksaw if you choose. File off sharp edges and
replace end cap. A touch of finger nail polish or glue will
hold them on well.
Rear Fenders on Bikes Set up fender hardware as directed in instructions with this exception:
the front mount on the rear fender should be installed by bolting from the inside of the fender
to the fender mount on the frame. Use two or more 1/4“ nuts as spacers between fender and
frame if needed. Use a ¼” or 6mm washer and lock washer between the bolt head and the
fender slot to secure the mount.
Rear Fenders on Trikes
1.Place the fender on
the rear wheel. Open the Stays to approximate
width needed for mounting. 3. Bolt the stays to
the frame loosely. 4. Position the front of the
fender to the front of the outrigger above brake.
Use 5mm screws with flat and lock washers
from the inside of the fender to attach to fender
mount. 6. Adjust and tighten bolts and screws all
around when sure of fit. 6. After Stays are
adjusted, they may be cut off with bolt cutters,
filed and have caps placed on their ends—be
careful of the sharp cut ends.
