I know most of you commute and need or want the rack and full fenders. The rack is really nice if you need it, and the fenders are too so long as you solve the rattling issue.
Commuting is not an option for me and I use the bike for exercise, fun and exploring. If I'm going on a longer ride or want to do a light grocery run I wear my Camelbak, which has a lot of room in it.
We do have a rainy season however, and storms can pop up out of nowhere. I wanted a smaller fender for the front that I could leave on, and something for the back I could put on if storms are in the forecast.
After a LOT of searching I settled on these two options, and they are working out perfectly.
Front: Mudhugger Standard Front Fender. This is a zip-tie fender I paid way too much for but works perfectly. It's made in the UK and cost me $30 plus $10.95 shipping.
Back: Blackburn Splashboard. Got this for $14.95 delivered, from Amazon. This pops on in 30 seconds and is surprisingly stable. I could leave it on all the time if I wanted too.
