Thanks, guys:, I REALLY appreciate all of your expertise. I do have one more important question: I just assumed the Freddy Fenders ATB hardcore would fit on my suspension fork; a Nashbar representative just told me that they fenders definitely will NOT fit on my front suspension fork.

Is this really so?

Edit: in fact, I could've SWORN that looking at commuter bike pics here, I've seen fenders on front suspension forks. Am I insane?
