Step 5Attach front fender to the bike
My front fork had an eyelet hole open on each side near the axle, so I was able to use it as an attachment point for the fender.
Use the needlenose pliers to bend one end of the hanger into a tight loop and insert it into the eyelet. Then tighten with the pliers. Extend the hangers straight out, and about 1-1.5 inches past the tire, use the pliers to bend the hanger up almost 90 degrees. Repeat on the other side. Bend the rest of the fender frame by hand so that that the fender matches the curve of the wheel.
Next, trim the excess length of each hanger near the top of the wheel and use one of the pieces to make a spacer for the fender frame. Secure the spacer using more twist-tie wire. Finally, secure the top of the fender to some point near the split of the fork. I punched a couple more holes and used a twist tie to secure the fender to a reflector.
