Is there a fender that attaches to the front fork?
I've seen a fender that attaches to the front fork and a rear fender that attaches to the seat stay.
The installation is clean, easily removal, and.... only available in 26" and 700c.
Anyone know of a 20" wheel/fork solution?

Bike Friday used to offer a 20" fender that attaches to the fork and chain stay bridge, but it seems their spare parts ordering is down UFN.

OK, I really messed up on the description, and that's on me.
Attaching to the legs of the fork.
I don't have room between the fork and the tire and there is no hole in the center of the fork for the standard fender mount
So, like these but for 20" wheels:

From the pictures, this gives you mounting points on the forks so that any mudguard fits.

What bike are you trying to find fenders for? I can't tell what the fork frown/tire area is like, and don't know what tire width you have. Could you post some pictures?

If you are willing to use a fender that does not have a curve that matches the wheel, you could use other fenders that are more generic. And if you have some tools so you could fabricate your own bracket to attach to the fork crown and to the brake bridge on the seat stays, there are lots of cheap options.
I used some like this on my errand bike (26 inch wheels), but I fabricated my own rear fender bracket to attach to the seatstay bridge.

I have also used that same fender on my folder (24 inch wheels, Airnimal Joey) with my own bracket for the rear.

After further though, I need a front fender that attaches to the legs(?) (blades?) of the fork, not the top where the through hole is normally located.

Something like this:

I might just buy this one and modify accordingly.
