Civia flat fenders?
Does anyone have any comments on the effectiveness of the Civia flat aluminum fenders in terms of protection?
I wanted to replace the Planet Bike fenders on my utility bike with the flat Civias, but have some misgivings about how well they work. I like the style, but I expect my fenders to completely protect me from spray, and I'm wondering if the absence of a lip to contain the water and mud allows for some to creep around and fly out.
Also, has anyone installed a flap extension on the front wheel Civia flat fender, or have any ideas on what might make an acceptable flap?
Just FYI, I have ordered the 700x35 fenderss to run over my 700x28 tires.
Thanks in advance!
