"Fixed Fenders"

[Mario Rocchio]

Does anyone ride a fixed fender? I remember Thom Cat made a few with old TSI deck plates and they looked sick.

I'm getting really frustrated with un-dialed brakes and relying too much on my brake for manulas, so I'm looking into making a fixed fender for my Proto Orion.

I was just wonder who is running one, and maybe some success or failure stories regarding designs.

Thanks.

when i started riding thats all i could use. it was exactly like a normal flexy, but the metal was pretty thick, so it didnt really bend

I made one a really long time ago and I found it really hard to flow park and stuff without looping out.

If you want one you'll pretty much have to make one yourself. Maybe Andrew will drop one for use with UBS.

i wasnt being a dick lol, all i was saying was you didnt know what it was cause you said something completely different, what you said was still just a flexy, that pictures a fixed fender, calm down.

OMG, your stupid.
i made a flex fender, but it didnt bend or touch the wheel at all.

I think people are getting fixed fender and flex fender mixed up. For anyone that doesn't know a fixed fender is basically just a piece of metal suspended over the back wheel that does not move or ever touch the back when riding. It's basically for people like Zane who don't really want a brake but still need something there. Flex fender is like a bendable *flex*able thinner piece that does bend down and touch the back wheel to brake.

That would be so rad. I'm looking forward to seeing what this UBS system is like.

But for now, I'll just work on making my own.

i feel like a fixed fender is a bad idea for some reason

 

[nick silverman]

Because it is...lol.
Jk...but wouldn't want to run one.

But i have seen an idea that incorporated both a fixed fender and a flex fender and gave you the best of both worlds. Basically you have a regular flex fender bolted to the deck the normal way. Then they had a "fixed fender" that bolted or welded to the deck and covered the bottom half of the flex fender, just leaving the top half of the flex fender exposed. This setup helps keep you from accidently landing on the brake, but you still have a working brake.
Cant find the pic right now but i think it was TSI who designed/built it, but not positive.
Going to build one myself soon.

youre talking about madis kukk's ride

 

[cralle]

Like this and then a small piece of the flexy sticks out at the top, just seems like to much and a hassle
