While we're on the subject of fenders... Suppose a person were to get a new bike, such as a Diamondback Haanjo Metro, with disc brakes. And further suppose that such a person were to think about adding fenders. The fork has threaded eyelets, but the fender stays on the left side would have to clear the brake. What's the best way to attach the fender stay on that side? How about a long screw and tubular spacer. Any other ideas? There are also threaded inserts about halfway up the fork, seemingly intended to attach panniers or a rack. Would it be an option to use those for attaching the fenders? The owner of this bike is pretty resourceful, and could doubtlessly figure this out, but consulting with the cognoscenti before hacking something together seems prudent.

Sadly, my cardiologist would disapprove of the ice cream.
