3.8.2 Rear fender attachment
The rear fender is directly mounted to the frame at the seat stay bridge and at the chain stay bridge (near motor
mount), with a spacer between fender and frame. At the rear it is connected to the dropouts by the rear rack. The
default spacers are 10mm thick at the motor mount and 5mm thick at the seat stay bridge (with the drop-outs in
the middle position). The spacer applied at the lower position may vary in thickness (or even be left out), as the
fender will move with the adjustment of the dropouts. Consequently, depending on the position of the drop-outs,
the distance between frame and fender can change as well. The rear fender is an integrated part of the rear rack
mounting, it acts as a rack stay. The rear fender has a fender end piece at the rear and has a channel for the electric
wiring to the rear light(s).
Note.
Rear fenders are drilled size-specific; the location of the holes varies per frame size.
