The fender pin was just to thick to be slotted in to the hole in the fork.
Hello Jan It might actually work... But I don’t have time before Sunday most likely to check it out. The rear fender is actually quit OK as it is but not the front.
Hello Jan That was the only solution the LBS had/saw. I guess that the mount in the mud guard it self is slightly too high up to be able to work in the same was as you have. Can you take close up picture if your set up?
The Silex is roughly 2kg heavier than my Trek Domane. So I use my Silex as my everyday bike and the Trek as my club ride bike.
I use the Silex on the road....for commuting and therefor I’m using SPD (MTB shoes), they are much nicer to walk in and I need to walk a bit at the company area until I,m at my desk. I have 20k each direction. I have…

Hi limbo Sorry for the late reply. I believe that the L (size 53) will be a bit to big. The Silex have a rather short stem, if I remember correct so is there a 80 mm stem on the M frame (size 50) and you might want to…
The LBS mounted the Specialized Dry-Tech mudguards (45mm). They had to cut out for the front derailleur.

Have used the bike some more now and I must say that it’s extremely comfortable. Today did I took a detour out on some gravel. No problem for the bike at all, just a rookie on the bike it self in this habitat.
More pics will come later on as well as a small ride report when I have hade a chance to ride the bike a bit more.
Finally have my Silex arrived. Got it yesterday and have only cycled home from the LBS. First reflection is that the bike is rather high in the front which will be most welcome on my commute ride that passes by…
