I'm probably gonna ask a lot of questions...
I've been trying to figure out exactly what size fenders, in terms of length and width, are required in order to be both useful and minimalistic.
So, how far fore and aft of the axle do you need to have a rear fender in order to keep water spray from hitting electronics or the rider. Or same question for the front fender.
Anybody have any knowledge on this? Or opinions? I know there are those that use the stock fenders, cut down the stock fenders, use fiberglass, or make custom fenders that appear to small to be functional, and then there are those that completely delete them. I'm aware that the different types of tire tread will throw water in different ways, but can't find any visuals on where exactly the water fling will come from on both the front and rear tires. A slow motion video of a tire running through water would be tremendous but I can't find one.
