In the UK a 'fender' used to be a kind of fire guard that stopped hot cinders falling onto the carpet from an open fireplace.



Still, we know what we mean here.

Here's a pic of the SKS fenders (16 inch, same as 20 just smaller). I think they are some of the best looking fenders around.

That looks great. I might look out some of those for my Pashley - Moulton TSR30. Problem is they won't fit with the marathon tyres. I'd need to go back from 40x406 tyres to 28x406 to fit them in. At the moment, I'm not riding it in the wet. It's too precious.

How do the Big Apples have such a low rolling resistance when they are so fat and run at quite low pressures? They are reputed to be very fast. I'd like to see some figures.
