Fenders and Suspension Forks
Planning on adding fenders to my bike, the front fork is a suspension fork, so I need something like a P clamp in order to install the rods for the fenders. Here is the question, how do I determine the size of clamp that I need? Anyone know where I can find such a clamp in Canada

Just get the size that is nearest to the diameter of the fork leg. If it's slightly too big, wrap a piece of inner tube around the fork leg to make it tight. If it's slightly too small, fill the gap between the ends of the clamp with a stack of washers.
