One attaching snips is broken so it let it move a little, had to remove things to notice it. Now it becomes tricky, should I get a new fender or try to find the part somewhere? Having winter tires so close to the fender, cannot really see which type of fenders would be the best option. | |

I would look carefully anyplace that the wheel could be rubbing against something while it spins; the top inside of the fork, everywhere on the fender, etc. | |

Yes, it does the noise with no weight on it, even a small touch creates tweaking sound. 2. the noise is like in a chamber, metallic, low and loud. It comes from the fork, when the lound happens, the vibrational waves stirs the handle bar and I can easily sense it with spokes. So by holding spokes near the attaching point to the fork I can dampen the sound (less vibration). 2. No loud with wheel, no touching. 4/5. maybe related, have to try them. | |
