Planet Bike Full bike fenders - 700c x 45mm, Black- Fits Up to 35mm Wide Tires

Like several other reviewers, I got these because I was tired of the radio-antenna-like stays on my old fender set. I kept getting things snagged on them and they were just kind of unsightly on a bike that I've tried to make look as clean and lean as possible. The wrap-around stays on these and the high gloss finish were what sold me. The stays are pretty thick metal. Set up on the rear fender was a breeze with no tweaking needed at all. The front fender took some Mcguyvering. Like some others noted, the front stays are quite long and I had to cut mine: I clipped off about an inch with my dremel in no time and dabbed a little paint on the end to prevent rust. I also had to get a longer bolt so the stay on the left side would clear my disc caliper: a quick trip to Ace Hardware and a $1.50 stainless bolt + 2 nuts solved that problem easy. While I was there I picked up some different mounting hardware since the stuff that comes with this set is kinda crappy: Planet Bike, socket heads with phillips on cycling stuff....really? Anyways, all in I spent another $5 on stainless hex hardware, which was fine by me. These fenders weren't pricey to begin with so no big deal. Took a little time adjusting the stays so that they spacing was symmetrical all around. All in, including trip to hardware store, I probably spent an hour on these.These are exactly what I wanted. Nice clean look. Solid mount. No rattles or vibrations. Very happy. I also take a little more comfort in the break-away feature on the front fenders. Hopefully I never need that, but its nice to know its there.Last thought: If you've installed fenders on a bike before, particularly one with disc brakes, you know that there's some amount of fuss and fumble associated with it no matter what fender you get. The time spent on fitting shenanigans with this set was no more or less than other fenders I've dealt with, so set your expectations accordingly. I threw a couple pics up so you can see the finished product and also how I deal with the caliper side. Hope this helps!

These don't rattle, keep road spray off me, and look great to boot. The single black set of stays is very stylish and reliable. The front mount is designed to break in an emergency to keep you from going head first over the handlebars of your bike.Easy to install and adjust. No special tools required (I'm looking at you SKS!). And for just $5 more you can get a set of mudflaps directly from Planet Bike (that includes shipping). I use one on just the front, to keep grime out of my drivetrain. That little trick essentially turns these into a set of Cascadia fenders, but for $15 less.

This is the second time I have bought these fenders, but this time around, the screws that came for installation were trash. They stripped almost immediately and made it impossible to continue making adjustments.

These fenders were almost exactly what I expected them to be. That is to say, they are completely decent fenders, and a good value. They are not top-of-the-line fenders, and you should not expect them to be at this price. I found them to be a very good fit for my old 1990 Miyata TripleCross, an old hybrid running 700C x 35 slick tires.One thing I did expect, was for all of the hardware to be correct. This was not the case. Maybe my TripleCross is an oddball, but I required a different size of bolt to attach the front stays at the dropouts. The hardware itself isn't superb, and I was somewhat disappointed that it's external hex, internal... Phillips drive? Internal hex is far preferred on a bike, as the wrenches are compact to carry.I also had misplaced hopes that the front fender would keep my bottom bracket and feet completely free of spray, and this was not the case. You'll notice that better fenders have an extension, or flap, extending farther down. Well, I quickly found out why. I ended up making my own 6" extension flap for the front, out of rubber sheet, attached with pop-rivets, and now I can ride wet streets and even shallow puddles, at speed, with near complete impunity. I stay nice and dry. I don't consider this to be a major mark against these fenders, as they still do a good job out of the box. Far better than getting a wet muddy back at every puddle or misdirected sprinkler. However, if you intend to regularly ride in the wet, you might be happier spending a little more for a set which has slightly better coverage. I should add that the rear fender is perfectly adequate, and kept me dry without any modification.I've found the fenders to add a little bit of noise to the ride, as sand or debris is kicked up from the tires. Otherwise, their existence is mostly transparent. I can drop the rear tire out without removing them, and I'm sure the front isn't a problem either.
