So I put Big Apples on my piccolo and absolutely LOVE them, but...the front fender won't fit properly. It rubs against the tires, making this horrible squeak. I usually wouldn't care, but it's "rainy" season in SoCal, and the roads can be quite disgusting. Is there any way to mount them without rubbing, or is there a brand that will have more clearance?

You're going to need the Curve-sized SKS fenders. Some Dahons are sold without enough clearance for the 2.0" Big Apples.

I just picked up the SKS Curve/Big Apple fenders and they work great on the Downtube Mini.

I agree - I have the same SKS Curve fenders on my Mini, but I'm running the stock Kenda tires. Big Apples are coming someday..
