Kona Dew FS full fenders.

Hi,


I want to put these:


On this:




Do you think it's possible? I know I can go to the LBS where they sell that bike and the fenders; but I want to pre-fit them here on BF before I go to the LBS.

Thanks

I don't think those will work with a suspension fork.
When I had this gary fisher I had to get some of these from my lbs because the front fender fits into the crown of the fork.
I had removed the front half of the front fender in this pic.

I've got those mounted on the Dew Deluxe. You have to spend a little time bending the supports carefully around the disk brakes
but it works fine when you get it right. It's basically two shallow bends. Only thing I'm not crazy about is the rear support is
pretty close to the brake arm, so if it got bumped hard it could interfere with braking.

Edited to add: The deluxe is a solid fork, so not sure how you'd deal with suspension.

Ya, I was gonna say....

I had those mounted on my dew deluxe, too. Until that Mustang sent it to bike heaven a week later.

My LBS proly has a Kona P2 Fork. I'll have to look it to that. I might try to jimmy-rig something. Thanks BF!
