My wife bought a new bike (Trek Lexa SLX, last years 2012 gray/white) and now demands white fenders. I bought some Planet Bike Cascadia in white, but they are too wide at 45mm and do not fit through the frame or fork.

I am not coming up with any white 35mm full fenders anywhere? Before I try to convince her that silver would be fine.... any white fenders?
And I do not want to get anything custom powdercoated...

thanks!

Are those the hybrid width? They have a road version of that fender. They are also a good candidate to snip for clearance around the bridges for customizing the fit.

Wow! Perfect! Thanks! I will remeasure tomorrow to check the 37mm...

Yes the hybrid width. I thought about giving them the snip, but I think they will look too wide on the bike and the home snip might look a little jagged.

The road version does not come in white....

11 pm on a Saturday night and you are on the computer??? Well so am I...

I think they paint will chip and look shabby pretty quickly. The plastic is too smooth.
