E3 Dash Fenders

Looks good, now to test for any wobble issues,. or just never let go of the bars. -S

Do you have any wobble issues on yours after you installed the fenders? Not letting go of the bars anymore. Did not work well when I was a kid
Feels as stable as before.

I introduced then fixed a wobble issue with the rack, so I'm on alert when I see a tall rack. The problem returned but was due to loosening hardware, so the blue locktight came out and I'm good to go a few thousand miles now. -S

Could the Currie folks reading this forum please please please reveal what the fenders were on the Dash with City Kit on display at Interbike? If you're not going to sell the kit, at least tell where to get fenders that fit without modifications and additions.

Could somebody verify what's the thread in that fork cross brace hole?

I decided to try SKS B53 http://www.amazon.com/SKS-Commuter-Bicycle-Fender-Black/dp/B0019HKMRE
and here's the result:

At 53 mm wide they're a snug fit over the tires and inside the seat stays:

The only mod required is something for the backward facing holes in the fork. They're still an amazing PITA to install though and the front is so short that it'll probably require a DIY mudflap when I get to scrounge the material for one.

The double stays on the front are nice, mine is kinda twisted and vibrates with one hand on the bars. Looks like the seat stays on the frame are more square for 2015, nice. -S

BTW, for anyone looking for fenders, the 29'er fenders are available for $35.50 Canadian Dollars at Mountain Equipment Coop in Canada. Just got them installed using the awesome tips here, so thank you to all. Here's the link to the fenders in case anyone's looking for them in the North, or just want a good deal -- https://www.mec.ca/en/product/5028-458/Cascadia-II-29er-Fenders

Thanks again to all for the awesome details and photos!

I used a Bontrager brand. My LBS only had fender for 700c and I took my chance and installed it. Lucky for me it fit, barely just enough,and I would say it fit nicely. I did a little modification to lower the flap closer to the ground for better splash protection.
