that seems pretty cool! though I wonder how much of your ass it will save?

I also wonder how long such a thing would survive in NYC before it was removed by a passerby, might be discrete enough to go unnoticed though. I mean I had a knog light on my front hub for almost two years. It died before someone snatched it.

I'd be curious to hear more from people who have used it. for now I leave my sks fenders on my commuter whip.

I havent tried it. Those who have say it works pretty well but dont know what they are comparing it with.. Its obv not made to keep you dry on a long rain ride. Just for those moments you get caught on your race bike without fenders or similar. Been there more than once and would have wanted one for those situations. Hate getting my ass wet when im not out for riding, then i dont really care.

hmm. nice simple solution.
doesn't look like it's easily available in the US tho.
maybe you could fab one out of a 2 liter bottle, scissors, and a hole punch....

yeah, doesn't look too difficult to replicate. lately i've been shclepping my rain gear around for no apparent reason. Though I guess I wouldn't be complaining if I'd actually been caught in the rain.

Not bad, but ugly.

I agree, I can make it for less than whatever they are selling it for.

I've made fender extenders from old water bottles before. Just cut it in half, remove the bottom, drill two holes in the bottle and the fender, and zip tie it on.
