Electra Alloy Balloon Townie Fender Set Review

These are what you are looking for if you have a balloon tire Electra Townie. I have a Townie 9D with Fat Frank 2.35" tires and was uncertain as to proper fenders. These are actuual Electra fenders. My bike is gloss black and the matte finish works very well. Even if gloss black were available I would buy these. The finish appears to be powder coat or some type of annodize? They are light weight and I suppose would dent fairly easy, as alloy does. They are very form fit and close to the tire but cover only the tread portion of those nice looking Schwalbes. Engineering is very good as they bolt right up without a fight and clear everything. No rubs, no rattles. High quality mounting hardware. The only decision is whether black would work for you if your bike is a color other than black. Very elegant look! Pair these up with a Brooks B67 saddle, Brooks roll-down panniers, a traditional brass bell etc., if you want a great looking Euro-style city bike. I am extremely happy with this product.

Wald #215 Rear Mount Bicycle Rack Review

Wald #215 Rear Mount Bicycle Rack

I've been commuting all winter using this steel rack, and steel Wald baskets too, and I finally switched back to an old aluminum rack. The Wald steel rack is fine in itself, but it mounts in front with a very flimsy bracket that is held to the rack with one small screw and bolt. This is entirely insufficient, and leads to a wobbly rack system.
A bike rack is generally useless unless it can be firmly mounted to the seat stays of the frame. My commuter bike doesn't have eyelets for mounting a rack, but many racks are sold with little adapter fittings that can attach to the seat stays. The Wald rack would be greatly improved if it could be mounted this way. But even if it could, the rack is made of very soft steel, and the rack itself is still quite flexible.
Buy a cheap aluminum rack instead, you'll have far fewer problems!
