Looking for a good fender set and rack
Hey guys! Just ordered my first commuter bike. The Fairdale Parser!
I'm looking to put fenders and a rack on it but don't know anything about them. Any suggestions?

You'll get every recommendation under the sun.
For my money, metal (steel or aluminum) fenders properly installed are the way to go. They're stronger, safer, longer lasting, and - IMO - better looking than anything else. They also need to be considered permanent, i.e. they don't like to be taken on and off. Proper installation is such a PITA you wouldn't want to anyway.
And now onto the folks who will disagree and recommend every other fender under the sun.
