That looks pretty sweet.I run fenders on my fargo sometimes. Honestly they are underrated. If you spend a little more money and get a nice set, they can don't look bad at all.
I lusted for this bike when I saw pics from the NAHBS (I will admit I would have prefered it to be disc tho)

Any recommendations for some fenders that would fit my RLT with 650bx47mm and 700c x38mm?
Or carry and alan to turn your bars. But yes, it is a problem if you don't plan for it.I have black SKS chromoplastics on one bike, not sure about the other fendered one.
One caution--unless you get clip-ons (at least the front), bagging your bike for trains is gonna be a problem
Cheers mate. I'm guessing I'd need something like the 650B 60mm wide fenders. Would they fit 700c 38mm tyres?If you like metal - Velo Orange & Handsome Mud Brothers both look nice when mounted properly.

Portland Design Works also makes some nice stuff.

These are the brands I know off the top of my head. I will search more later today.
New bike is your only option in my eyes.chain-drop I had on my commuter last week... kinda messed up the crank arm/chainring, but better than if it dropped on the inside and mewed the frame I guess. one pin is bent/warped so gotta change the chain too. it's been about 3,000km, so I guess about 1 yen per km utilization rate....

That looks like tons of fun. As soon as there is a decent amount of snow, crashing isn't actually that bad in my experience — as long as you ride at moderate speeds.@Forsbrook kudos for getting out in yesterday's weather. Myself and @saibot went out also and
I agree.Lovely looking bike....but disc brakes rule.I wish my Surly LHT had them,but at least I can upgrade to some Long Haul Trucker disc compatible forks..I run fenders on my fargo sometimes.

LHT is 26", right? You can go with all kinds of options for forks. Then snag a TRP RyRD and your will be smooth sailing!

spent more than 2 hours cleaning, polishing, inspecting and fine-tuning the bike today, and am now again ready to trust it with my life tomorrow. out to check the conditions on the lower saitama hills around ogose-moro area (and maybe riding back for change to start HTFU again a bit)
Were you up on the ridge or just to the waterfall? I'm interested in the condition of the green line itself, since it's kinda high up, does not get much sunlight etc.I was out on the Green Line for a little hike yesterday
