Warped SKS Fenders Fixeed
I know this may should be in the BM Forum but a lot of commuters need to/use fenders and I wanted to pass this tip on to those who may need it most. I just installed SKS fenders on my foul weather commuter. Surely it will rain again someday.
When I purchased them, they looked fine but when I installed the front one, the front of the fender looked like I had wrecked as it was warped. I used the wifey's hair dryer and a little piece of paper towel for a wedged and voila, straight as an arrow for this perfectionest.
I did a search and found only a little info. on this back in 05 so I thought I would start a new thread.
