Fendered

It's not nearly as nice as Jeff's beast but it's my baby. I have often been on the "why bother?" side of the fence on fenders. I'm hoping these get me to quit using my MTB for commuting as much in the rainy season, which means less bike commutes to the bus stop and more full commutes to work.

I know. NDS photo, no white garage door, not in 52x12, etc... Let the flogging begin.


Setup:
2006 Trek 1200
SKS Commuter Full Fenders with mudflaps (Black, 35mm)
Blackburn XR-1 Crossrack
DiNotte 200L-AA-S
NiteRider Evolution (upped to 15W/300 Lumens)
Trek Disco Tech on the rack (Mars 3.0 helmet mounted)
Headland CMT wedge
Cheap Shimano mountain SPD's
Trek Incite 11i 'meter
Bottle cages
New bar tape
SwissStop Green brakes
Shimano WH-R500 rear wheel (both wheels de-badged)
Bontrager Race-Lite HardCase tires

This bike has served me very well since May when I got it. I missed it quite a bit over the snowy months here in KC. I moved closer to work a while ago and the way I look at it the fenders are giving me one less condition (wet pavement, dry skies) to use as an excuse to ride 3 miles to the bus vs. 14 miles to work.
