Wore out three sets of tires already!
Much better than the shorty fenders IMO.

No question Eric - recovering my fenders was a project on its own. I had all the good hardware, including a ramped fork crown daruma wedge from Boulder cycles. The front fender took a pretty bad hit when my GP frame and fork closed on each other.Much better than the shorty fenders IMO.
I tried to edit this morning's post, but looks like the option has evaporated. Wanted to show some of the nice details about the Honjo mounting hardware, and some tricks that help solve problems.a last update on the International.
After a bit of straightening (front) from the wreck, and a lot of cleaning, installed my old Honjo fenders and got them in final adjustment. Was surprised to find the wheelbase and fork offset was slightly longer on this bike than on the old GP. Had to buy new U-stays to cut them a bit longer. Because the brake bridge is lower on the International, had to replace my rear bridge mount with the actual Honjo rear part - before, I had used the Honjo front L-bracket on the GP rear because of its tall brake bridge.
Ben's cycle is the source for all things Honjo...
his prices are pretty high, especially on complete pre-drilled fender sets, but having all the small hardware available in one place, you don't mind being nickel-and-dimed.
Jitensha is still the place for undrilled fender blanks, and their prices are better, but it's a little tougher getting their attention.
Was out on the bike on New Year's Day with the Sunday-morning group. Only 3 of us showed up, but we had a great ride. Howard was snowed-in somewhere in CO.
Last week, with good weather, managed to break 100 mi for the week.
Yesterday morning again managed to join the crack-of-dawn downtown ride. Twenty of us this time, and it was my first time to see Howard since the wreck. Saw Tad there for the first time since our messy Christmas-break ride.
Yesterday was a great fender ride - we were socked in with low ceiling and riding through a fine mist.
Managed to get home before the real rain started.
"How's she doing today?"
"Hungry"
"Did you feed her?"
"She's eating wrestlers."
I'm doing great, bro.I've never seen a girls wrestling match before of this nature except as a kid on
tv.
She's fast and strong. I saw the video several
times. To the untrained eye like myself, it looks
like from the start your champ got on top fast.
Did you play this sport? Thanks for sharing.
Hope you can sleep better with your rib condition.
