Fenders on a Freerider?

[The Brook]

Hi all,

I'll be commuting to work on my Freerider, and I was wondering if fenders can be put on the Freerider, especially in the back because of the suspension.
Or would I be best to use a seat post type of flap to keep from getting sprayed in the back of the head?

Thanks for your advice.

I was wondering if fenders can be put on the Freerider, especially in the back because of the suspension.

yes,,, all mounting points are on the same swing arm and don't move relative to each other.

Yes, and a spacer may help at the furthest fwd point. A rack is much tougher. It's either exclusively on the seatpost or bodge.

I have an Old Man Mountain Sherpa rack, it attaches to the Brake posts, so that it moves with the suspension. I've had it for approx. 10 years on my Freerider, and I've never had a moment's worry with them, it's been rock solid.

Way late to this conversation... but I used these https://www.planetbike.com/store/pr...ack-aluminum-bike-fenders-20-medium-50mm.html

I put the front one on the back and the other way around too. So it looks like the picture.
