[QUOTE="Cyclepath, post: 1399528, member: 78971"] Interesting thread here. Years ago when I had only just bought my old Gen 1 off its 2nd owner (I'm da 3rd), I soon noticed a clattering at the front end whenever I ran over a pothole or transitioned from street to my driveway. Turned out to be loose front fender bolts - so loose they were breaking away the rings in the stock (plastic) fender. Bizarre, and I quickly had to rectify the situation with some special plastic rings from a tarp repair kit + some JB Weld (an epoxy mix with metal filings for strength). Has been good for almost 5 years now, but I still shake my head wondering how the previous owner hadn't caught that before it damaged the fender mount holes... [/QUOTE]
