  1. I'm looking for a fender set for a 20/20 SWB. I'm running 20x1-1/8 tires
    (451) and would prefer to fit narrower rather than wider fenders, mostly to keep the lines lighter.
    The Planet Bike sets look good, but are a little wider than what I'd like and are also out of
    stock, according to Planet Bike's site.

    Any other alternatives or other sources for the Planet Bike parts?

  2. What are you riding?

    Manufacturers sometimes have fender sets available.

  3. If you're pretty handy, you can use clip on plastic fenders meant for the bigger wheeled bike. We
    use the 26" sets all the time for 20" and 16". Did one for a 16" folder a week back. Had to snip the
    front, then put them in an oven just till they were pliable then let them cool to the correct
    profile. For 451 tires, you can use the 700cc version probably

    Hope this helps

    Long-defunct Counterpoint Presto. Nice idea, but no hope there.

    Counterpoint may be defunct, but the Presto lives on as the Pashley PDQ.

    I have seen a Presto with a front fender/fairing (appeared to be original equipment) that resembled
    the "wheel pants" fairings commonly used on fixed gear aircraft.

    I'll bet the Hostel Shoppe or Calhoun Cycle could get something to work.

    Yeah, that's it. No idea where I might find that original front fender/wheel fairing. And I'm not
    sure it's what I'm looking for in any case. Thanks for the thought, though.

    Hostel Shoppe is carrying the Rans fenders, pricey at $50 the set vs. the Planet bike at $30.
    Unfortunately they're out of stock for another month.
