Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Best Fenders for Fuji Gran Fondo?

Hello, new to the forum...
I have a 2019 Fuji Gran Fondo 1.3 that I'd like to mount fenders on. Anyone have any suggestions? Apparently Fuji doesn't have any, at least that I could find.

Thanks

Well there aren't any mounts on that frame for fenders are there? I suppose you can get those brackets that snug onto parts that weren't designed for the stress the brackets might add. But personally I'd get a bike with fenders If I was going to ride often in stuff I need fenders for.

There are some little flimsy add on fenders that might work for some bikes that don't require any special attach points. But I've not needed them, nor have I seen them advertised in quite awhile. I embrace the splatter stripe going up my backside.

Its absurd that a bike called a 'gran fondo' wouldnt have dedicated fender mounts.

Your bike should have hidden fender mounts near the rear dropout. If there is just a hole, its because the mount has been removed and you should look at getting replacements. You would use the fender mount and brake bridge.

Wow, I didn't know they had a Gran Fondo on Mt. Fuji. Sounds pretty tough!
