Coroplast fenders

I'd made up some quick temporary fenders last weekend for the remnants of Hurricane Patricia passing through and checked today to see how they were holding up. They're still fine so I thought I'd share for your amusement.

I cut a piece of cloroplast length-wise, about 1 3/4 inch wide, and bent it by hand and heat-gun around a wheel. Then a couple of strips from the fork to the back. A couple of tie-wraps and bits of inner tube to hold it together and:


the rear:

I think I'll leave them on permanently since, as you'll have to admit, they don't really detract from the overall look of the bike.
