Yeah...The stock metal fenders that come with the bikes tend to have the hardware fasteners, (nuts and bolts, and/or what they attach to), break off and then the fenders wind up flipping into the wheel and in the process wrecking the bike and yourself, not to mention what you might hit along the way...This could really ruin your entire afternoon...lol.
I would love to replace the brakes and wheels but that is out of my budget, is there a way to just secure the original fenders, as I just finished redoing the whole bike
Ive tried many different reinforcement methods and none have ever worked for any length of time...Something, somewhere, has always broken loose no matter what...They are only designed for actual bike speeds of about 11 miles per hour...These bikes of ours tend to be a work in progress, as you can afford to make the changes necessary to make them a safe, viable, dependable, relatively trouble free ride...and the brakes and wheels are not that far out of your budget either...DAMIEN

Thanks, for now Im gonna transfer all of the lights off my racing bicycle (pedal powered) because I don't wanna ride without I'm also gonna go over budget for some mirrors they are just something I dont like to ride without
Here are the mirrors i use myself...they come as a pair for left and right...I use only one myself as it is adequate...the only thing i do different is to NOT use the plastic fastener to the handle bars...vibration makes the mirror shake too much to be of any use...instead i had a roll of "plumbers strap" or sometimes known as construction straping...its metal, i just bend it to double it up, so i double the strength and then nut and bolt it into shape...I had it on my old bike and transferred it to this one last year...its been in use for over 5 years total now and has never busted loose...DAMIEN
