Subject: [CR]fender/mudguard question

In the recent Riv e-mail update, a refence is made to the fenders that were to be used with the new Quickbeam single-speed bike that Riv is planning to produce. (Keeper of the flame?) Grant says that he had to change the supplier because the mudguards he wanted to use had no "quick-release" feature. I have used Bluemel in the past (wish those red ones didn't get sent to the Salvation Army in '85) and have Planet Bike ones on the Woodrup and the tandem...but I can't see any quick release feature that would supposedly reduce the chance of serious injury. Since I do plan to use Bluemels in a restoration, what should I be aware/afraid of? Is the original hardware dangerous and if so, how? thanks!
