Well, it is time to start riding in the rain. Which means fenders.

My around-town bike wears fenders year round. But my racy roadbike does not. That bike gets its fenders tacked on in October and peeled off in April. Used to be Sept and June, but climate change appears to be dessicating the Pac NW.

This year, i have decided that the racy roadbike for the winter will be my lugged carbon Vitus 997. I know, riding vintage glued carbon/aluminum in the rain. [MENTION=172094]Chombi[/MENTION] would disapprove!. But i don't have that many roadbikes to choose from.

The Vitus has no eyelets and tight clearances. Plus I'm a weight weenie. Not that you'd think so, after glancing at my midsection. But hopefully that will change after a suitably self-harming winter on the bike.

What fender set do you use that is 1) very light 2) suitable for 25 mm tires and tight clearance, 3) suitable for bikes with no eyelets 4) adequate in spray coverage, but doesn't need to be great. I'll be wearing tights, rain cape, booties. The fenders are mostly to keep the bike clean(er).
