Here are pictures of the fenders where they are mounted to the frame. I am not sure why the orientation of the pictures is incorrect when I upload them, sorry about that.

Is this what you wanted to see? Please note, the front fender is not installed as one would normally install the fender. I have it mounted behind the fork rather than in front. I had to do this so there was enough clearance between the tire and fender. I didn't have this problem with my SKS Chromoplastics or my Portland Design Works, but I had to do it this way with the SKS Bluemels.

Please, don't mind the dirty bike. I took the long way to work today and the bike is now filthy.



Also, I don't remember what size the hex bolts are. Hopefully, you have the right size. If they are not going in easily they may be too big so be careful.

They are driving me crazy I got a reply from orbea and they actually explained what a fender was....... really?! My job today is to hunt down smaller screws and L brackets.
