[ORRando] My Review of the CRUD mk2 Roadracer fenders for RoadBikeRider

[Ken Bonner]

Hi!

 

Thought some of you might be interested.    Here is the link to the review I
wrote about the above-noted fenders for www.roadbikerider.com   (RBR).   I
found out about this free weekly newsletter several years ago when riding
one of the Randonneurs U.S.A. brevets.   Topical, technical and entertaining
with a focus on road bike cyclists).

 

The review is at the following link, but will only be on the free site for a
relatively short while before it is moved on to the 'premium' site - which
doesn't cost much and has a lot of extra information on it.

ards   These fenders (mudguards) for bicycles with tight-fitting fender
clearances are available in Victoria through local bicycle stores.  They are
also available in Vancouver, so I assume they are available at  local
bicycle stores throughout Canada.   REI and local bicycle stores in the
U.S.A. also carry them.

 

Note:  Since this review was published, I had a few cyclists add a couple of
provisos:

.        These fenders will likely not work well when riding through
cycle-cross type unpaved roads with lots of sticky mud

.        Another rider was concerned about the ability of these light-weight
fenders to stand up to wind speeds of over 120 kph when she transports her
bike on the top of her car.  So far, the testing is going well . she plans
to try 140 kph, eventually 180 kph when trying to catch a BC Ferry at the
last minute.  There are rumours that the RCMP have her in their little black
book . and soon in their radar trap!  J

RBR will soon be publishing my review of O2 Rainwear rain jackets - which
sadly, are available only in the U.S.A. - although obtainable off their
website  http://o2rainwear.com/

 

 

Cheers .  Ken
