So I guess it's fender season because it snowed in Pennsylvania for the first time and I think
00:07
fenders are too dang short. Most fenders that people buy, for instance, these are the SKS
00:15
Raceblade Pros, pretty common fender for a road bike that doesn't have fender mounts, right? So
00:21
like most road bikes don't have fender mounts, which that's a different conversation. But anyway,
00:26
when you buy these, they are only this long, which if you can see where this pedal is,
00:35
it's below the fender, meaning that the wheel is just going to spray your whole foot and not protect
00:42
you from what a fender is supposed to be protecting you from. Same way, same thing in the back. This
00:47
fender is only this long when you buy it, meaning that if somebody's on your wheel, they are just
00:51
getting spray to the face. Anyway, there's an easy way to fix it, right? These are little buddy
00:59
flaps. They're just plastic. You can buy them. They're pretty cheap, but you can just go to a
01:05
Staples. You could buy a plastic folder, you know, those flexible plastic folders that people use for
01:10
school. You can cut out a buddy flap. You can put a little hole in it. These fenders, fenders like
01:17
this, these race blades already come pre-drilled for flaps anyway. I don't know why they don't come
01:24
with functional ones, but they don't. And this is an easy way to make your fenders better.
