I have a Fuji trake bike that has very tight clearnce between the tires and brakes.

So any sugestions on some fenders that would fit?

I would like to keep dry this winter.

Fenders on a track bike? Don't be that guy.

What guy? A person who doesn't want to get covered with road goo in bad weather?

Live and let ride.

Yeah, I have a set. I run them on my fixed gear bike in the wet, but the front was hokey so I had to modify it. All in all, they look as if they would work well, but they really don't do jack for me.

The position that the rear mounts to the seat tube leaves a huge amount of coverage missing in a crucial area. The reason I use fenders is to prevent a wet butt. I still get a wet butt with these fenders. 'Nuff said.

Just last night I fit a set of Freddy Fender Hardcores on my Fuji. It's sooper tight on the back and expect to use a lot of zipties to make it all come together, but in the end, it's a nice set of fenders.
