Looking for rear rack and fenders for my new 20" foldable
Hey Guys and gals!
I just picked up a coaster braked folding bike today. I dont know what brand it is, but its defiantly made of steel. It didnt come with pedals, grips, rear rack, or fenders. I guess I cant complain considering it was $60. I have extra fold able pedals and grips for it, but really would like a rack and fenders. I tried searching online for these parts that would fit the bike, but didnt come up with anything specific for a folding bike. I know Citizen has a package for the fenders and rack for $14m but I dont know if fitments is bike/manufacture specific.
Can anyone recommend me a cheap but functional set of fenders and a rack made for 20" foldables? Will the Citizen set work?
Heres a picture of the new addition to the bicycle collection!

As far as fitting you should post pics of the forks front and back, and the drilled mounting holes. You may have to drill a hole in the rear fender if your bike mounts from below.

Pletscher makes/made a rack for the Raleigh Twenty, it is a Model C. I would also check for suppliers that sell to the Dutch or Danish market, I have seen plenty of 20" wheeled bikes with racks on them that the children ride. You could possibly use a seatpost mounted rack, but it will limit your weight carrying abilities and may get in the way when folding.
BTW here is a direct link to the fenders that will fit. They come in any color you want...as long as it is black.
UPDATE: ThorUSA has a rack listed for 20" wheeled bikes
Look towards the bottom of the page. He also lists SKS fenders for the 20" wheeled bikes.Aaron

They are very compatible with the stock Dahon fenders.
(FYI: I have Tioga Pool Comp tires on mine.)

Cool. Thanks guys. It's a 20x1.75 tire.
There are mounting holes for the rack just behind the seat tube, and there are mounting holes for the lower portion of the rack above the rear drop outs.
I just ordered the fenders from planet bike. Hope they fit well.
