[INSTALL TIPS]

How to install Honjo fenders and size fitting are very important. Please refer to the following article for specific installation know-how.

◆I'm currently building a Seven 650b bike and I'm thinking of using WTB Byway tires. Which fender do you recommend? I'm not sure which is the best, so I'd like to know which one is the best. If there are brass or titanium options, please let me know.

I think the Smooth 62 in 650b size would fit.

Below are some fitting samples.

◆I often see 650b plus bikes with Honjo fenders, and I've been wanting to install one on my Kona Unit (2017). Any recommendations? I like the black ones.

It depends on what tires you put on.
Flat 65 is the widest in SimWorks' lineup, but I think it can only cover tires up to about 55mm wide. Do you have a wider tire on your Kona Unit?

Additionally, the Kona Unit is not a bike frame designed to accommodate fenders, so while that doesn't mean it's impossible, it would require some skill and experience customizing your bike.

So I recommend you to find a good bike shop and ask them for advice. If you tell me where you live I can introduce you to someone.

Thanks. I have a reliable bike shop. I use 70mm tires and I'm sure they can solve the problem perfectly. From Germany

◆I am looking for a fender for my Brompton, and it is made by Honjo Koken. Can I purchase it from SimWorks?

Yes. Bros mudguards by SimWorks by Honjo can be installed.
You can also choose black .

◆ I have a 27 inch sportif, are there any fenders for 27 inch wheels? Or are they compatible with other sizes?

The Honjo Koken fenders we carry come in two diameters: 26" / 650B (R=355mm) and 700C (R=358mm). For 27", a radius of about 365mm would be required, but unfortunately we do not carry these.

Fenders may need to be slightly adjusted when installed, but it may be necessary to try to fit a 700C fender onto a 27" bike. The difference in diameter is about 14mm, but whether this is a large or small amount depends on your perspective. Please understand that there is no compatibility.

◆ I ordered a GIOS cross bike PURE FLAT (2015) and am waiting for delivery. I would like to install your fender Smooth 41. Is that possible? Also, are there any other things I need besides the standard mounting brackets? (I can drill holes myself.)

First, regarding whether or not it can be installed, the only answer to this question is that "we won't know until we try it," regardless of the type of bike it is for. This is because we are unable to provide accurate information on the shape and specifications of other companies' products. Even if you inquire about this issue to Gios or Honjo Koken, the mudguard manufacturer, you will basically get the same answer.

This is just my guess for reference, but I believe it is possible to install it.
I checked the photo and it appears that it has the eyelets necessary for attaching the brackets, and as long as you can drill the holes properly, I think it can be attached using the standard brackets and fasteners that come with it.
One thing I'm concerned about is that the brakes seem to be Tektro V-brakes with short arms, which may interfere with the fenders. I won't know until I try them out, but I might need to replace the brakes.
In addition, detailed specifications often change without notice regardless of the manufacturer, large or small, so there are some aspects that cannot be judged without checking the actual product.

The most reliable way is to bring your bike to a bike shop that specializes in customization such as installing fenders, and have a mechanic check whether it is possible. If the shop is a dealer of our products, you can place an order directly, so it might be a good idea to find your nearest SimWorks dealer and inquire about it.
