Enve Fender mounting kit

Interesting solution for mounting fenders to bikes with no seatstay bridge. I don't see why it wouldn't work with other manufacturers' bikes.

This paired with some Axiom Framerunners or P clamps could be a solution for mounting fenders to pretty much any disc brake bike. Though I guess fork crown could be a barrier

Will be buying for my Caledonia for sure. The Cervelo mount sucks hard. this is a very elegant design for the seat stays. Looks super adjustable and agree should work with a bunch of bikes

That bridge is clever, and the stickers they included are a nice touch… but I think that ish is gonna be very rattle prone.

I’ve been thinking a lot about the Caledonia, mostly because of the fender mounts.

What makes them sucky?

Enve Fender mounting kit

What are the odds that the span needed by non-Enve bikes is the same?

Is there a similar widget for a chain stay bridge?

iirc Santa Cruz had a similar plastic doodad for fendering the Stigmata

Basically impossible to take on and off without feeling like you're cutting into the clear coat. I just leave mine on year round, but it'd be nice to take the bridge off in the summer when I yank the fenders.

Its a hoot that, given they've already added fender mounts elsewhere on the bike, they didn't just add a seastay bridge. Aesthetics? Weight? AeRo?

Its great it's an option and that it exists, I'm all for fendering bikes, but it seems like a bit of a design afterthought.

Almost certainly about aesthetics. People love the look of no seatstay bridge and I’ve heard repeated comments about it before.

I’m more of a form follows function guy myself but…
