Hey BBB,The Huffy frames are steel, So they seem to work out well in most cases. But I would rather leave the rear fender on and take off the front though. The rear ain't gonna make you go on a "front fender ski trip". I left both of my fenders on my Cranbrook but made STEEL brackets for them. I also took off the cheap front brace, so that if it does come off it wont get stuck under the tire.
A couple months ago a customer was coming over to let me tighten up her front fender. She made it two houses down from me before the bracket busted. She went straight to the hospital. I had warned her about the problem and gave her a choice, Fender or no fender. She chose to keep the fender because she liked how it looked. She PROMISED to keep her eye on it. She did, but didn't bring it to me in time. So just be warned. The front fender can kill you. (same thing I told her.)
