Is there a website anyone knows of, off the top of their head that sells fenders separately?
i need to replace my now non existent front fender and dont want to buy a set if i dont have to. I havent checked LBS yet, as im at work. Oh yeah full coverage 26" dont care about width i did find a site that sells 700c one separately but not the 26"

Thanks i emailed them they dont have an option i found to just buy the front but i asked and we shall see what they say. I dont even know if ill save much money by just buying a front one but i really would hate to buy a whole new set when my rear fender is still in awesome shape.

What happened to your original front?

I went on a mountain tour so i put my MTB tires on which happen to be new and i had never installed them on this bike before and i guess the Planet bike ATB hardcore fenders really cant handle 2.1 width (i think) either way something got stuck between tire and fender and sucked it up through the forks which of coarse stopped me good and proper but destroyed the fender

They sell singles in their Recumbent line but apparently everything else is by the pair. I recently bought a single 26" rear from them. It's supposed to fit up to 1.75" tire. So is the 26" front. (2018) Did you look at it? Might not extend forward as much as you would like.
