A lot of bikes have a rather short fender at the front. There are fender extenders on the market wich
have to be screwed to the
existing fender.
This looks ugly in my opinion so I looked for an alternative. The answer is glueing!
I found a universal construction cement (or kit as we say in Dutch) from the make Bison. It's available
at hobbystores in a lot of
European Countries. It kits a lot of material together, from iron to wood to concrete, and is highly
suitable to mount various parts
on your bike. After cleaning both surfaces thoroughly with alcohol, put a few dots of kit at your extender
and press the extender
firmly at its right place under the fender. Keep the pressure for a few minutes and let the kit dry
for 24 hours. This joint is
extremely strong and will easyly hold the extender in place without damaging your fender!
