Salsa Casseroll Fenders Finished!

by Errin on March 8, 2010

I received the final part that I needed last week, and set about finishing the install of the Velo Orange fenders on my Salsa Casseroll. I had run into a couple problem with the front fender, so I had to wait a L bracket. You can get caught up with part 1 here and part 2 here.

The first step was to drill two holes in the fender for the L Bracket. I was a little nervous about doing this, but it went pretty smoothly.

Holes drilled and bracket mounted.

After installing the bracket, the fender mounted up very easily. I had to make a couple adjustments to the get the fender even on both sides, but it was pretty straight forward.

Here’s a pic of the fenders finally installed. They look really good and I’m very happy with them.

What do you think?

    [...] wasn’t looking to good. We had plans for Sunday though, so it was my only option. I finished installing the fenders on the Salsa Casseroll Friday night. That way, even if it rained, I could ride it. I set my alarm for 5am, with the [...]

    It’s not fair Errin. You and the others (well mostly you) accuse me of being a narcissist. And then you get away with taking your own picture like this.

    I recently had a mishap with my SKS fenders on my Casseroll (see link to blog), and am considering a set of VO’s. What width fender did you go with? 37mm? Do you notice the fender squishing at all when the brakes are applied? I believe my brakes are the Tektro 538′s (2009 Casseroll Triple). Are yours the same/similar? Any help is appreciated!

    Thanks for reading! A randonneur from Madison too! My friend Bruce, also a randonneur, is from Madison and hopes to do a brevet there this summer. Check out his blog here.

    I’ve sold my Casseroll, and I don’t remember what brakes they were, but they were just the stock ones, so probably the same as yours. I do have the problem of the fenders affecting the brake on my Kogswell, which is setup similar to how the Casseroll was setup. It’s a problem with wide fenders and sidepulls. I’m actually considering having another fork made with Canti-Posts to get around it. I can’t remember the width that I have. I’ll try to measure them over the weekend. I have no need for mine anymore, so if you want to buy some used ones, let me know.
