It’s that time of the year to be careful about riding on trails with leaves and STICKS. There have been a couple times in the past when a stick would get sucked up my front wheel. I managed to stop in time before it crumpled my fender and possibly jam into the fork crown and cause me to crash.

Safety tabs come standard on Riv’s plastic fenders.I have these on my other bike. My Atlantis has Gilles Berthoud stainless steel fenders with 5mm aluminum fender stays. I thought the PDW safety tabs wouldn’t fit but my email question to them was returned and YES the hole would fit 5mm stays perfectly. So I measured two times and cut once on each side of the fender stays and this is how they look.
