Reviews A cinch to install  by: on: 23-Mar 2009 Very quick and easy to install. I just have an inexpensive Costco mountain bike (Motiv) with fat tires and was concerned about fenders fitting inside the frame, but the fit was fine. In ten minutes I was outside riding through all the puddles on our dirt road. The performance of the fenders fully met my expectations. Good product by: on: 25-Dec 2008 I purchased this fender set to install on a TREK 4300. The installation of the front fender was very easy, took no alterations of the mounting hardware and took less than 5 minutes. The back fender required bending of the mounting bracket. The rear bracket is bent to a 90 degree angle and meant to mount to a rear facing threaded hole. My bike has the threaded hole pointing down toward the tire, so it required the bracket to be bent so that it was straight. It also appeared to require removal of the rear rim to get to the screw to install it. I did find that by letting the air out of the rear tire, I could get the screw mounted with a right angle screw driver (one of those small ones that have a bend on each end for reaching tight places). In all, it only took about 15 minutes to bend the bracket and mount it, so the installation was still fairly easy. The front fender is very stable, however because the rear fender is longer and only has one mounting point, it tended to slip out of alignment. I also mounted a Topeak rear rack on the bike, and I found that I could mount a small 90 degree angle bracket to one of the holes that was intended for a light, and then attach it to the rear of the fender. It now is very stable, however, it would be harder to remove. I leave my fenders on all of the time, so it doesn't create any problems for me. Generally, I think the fenders are great and do an excellent job, even with the wide tires (2.00 x 26). I will mention that since the fenders are intended to work with either 26 or 28 inch tires, they are curved a little less than might be desired for a tight fit on the 26 inch tires. I heated them with a heat gun and found that I could bend them to a tighter curve, so that they fit the tires a little better. Won't install on my mountain bike  by: on: 12-Dec 2008 This fender set is not for mountain bikes. Also it arrived without anything to attach to the bike frame, I think they missed something in the shipment. I had to return it. Too bad, they looked nice. sks beavertail bike fender set  by: on: 07-Dec 2008 Worked well on a mountain bike with front and rear suspension, good item for money View All Fenders |
