Thanks! Funny thing is my Talon looks almost exactly like the high end XTC of that year so I think people mistake me for riding a better bike then I do As for the fenders I had maybe ten minutes on them so far I was tired of the front flinging stuff up, today was the last straw as I was headed into a brisk wind and the tires were tossing slush straight up and into my face. They worked awesome though for that ten minutes, I was able to take the goggles off and even though the front seems long I never hit it with my foot.

@cyccommute Wow, those are sweet!! I love the whole idea of them

@Chandne A carbon fiber fat bike with studs would be Un. Stoppable.

Talk about a rush of awesomeness tonight!
