Young commuter wants fenders.

My 9yr old son commutes about 3 miles to school round trip, and has asked that he could have some fenders like dad has (PB freddy's). He rides a Giant MTX 225 with 24' mtn knobbies. I've searched high/ low and all I can find is 20' or 26'. Any help would be great, and get a "future" commuter off to a great start.

I found these:
https://www.bikeworldusa.com/product_...7de67f2e4df1ea, but I think the bike's tires are too wide. If you look at the manufacturer's catalog:
https://www.waldllc.com/CATALOG.pdf
It looks like they make a 24x2" fender, since your son's bike is 24x1.95", it should work. Maybe find a place that carries them or figure out how to order from Wald.
Good luck!

Sorry, there's not. But yeah, he sounds like a cool kid and will probably develop the skills to survive the impending apocalypse.
