Wish it was cheaper

The fenders feel rather cheap and did not go on very straight without lots of adjustments, but it did come with everything you need to install onto your bike. I put mine on my Dawes Lightning 1000, which had enough clearance for the fenders. The rear fender attachment that hangs on the brake screw makes it difficult to tighten the caliper brake in place and the brake goes out of adjustment easily with a slight push so i have to be mindful not to hit the rear brake. Otherwise its a fine fender and does its job. I hear lots of clacks against the fender on the road rather than little pebbles hitting my face or legs.

These fenders are a great addition to a commuter bike. They are light, go on very easily, with good installation instructions and serve their purpose very well. Ive ridden in light and heavy rain and they do just what they are expected to do. Id recommend them to anyone that rides a commuter, or touring bike.

easy to install?!?

They were not easy to install, despite the advertising that said they were. I have a small bike frame (13.5") with 700cc 35mm wheels. These fenders are a tight fit and Im still tweaking their fit because something is always rubbing somewhere. Im not absolutely certain the fit troubles are because of the small bike frame.

The instructions that came with the fenders are better than instructions that have come with other bike components, but they still assume the person reading them already knows what he/she is doing.

The concept is excellent, however the reality of these fenders is quite different. Im sure the fenders will do their job spectacularly, if they dont wear a hole in my tires, first.

Nice fenders.Just a little finicky when it came to attaching. I am not the most mechanically inclined individual, so I had to take a few deep breaths and count to 10. Eventually I was able to finish the project and they look good and are affective. Finally remember to check the nuts on occasion, they might work themselves loose.
