Looks Good / Works well

On: 2008-04-21

Product looks great. rear fender fits and works great. one downside i found was the quick release collar for the seat post. it works great, but at the same time it will work great being removed by anybody else if you keep your bike locked up. front fender does not fit the fork i currently have, but i had planned to install a new one before i bought the product, so its not a problem for me. a front brake mounted alternative would be very nice. although the fork im planning on has no bosses for brakes other than disc.

Fast assembly

On: 2008-04-16

I bought two sets of these, one for my bike and one for the wifes bike. Assembly took a total of less than 10 minutes, including adjusting the rear fender for optimal position.

The flared ends really catch a lot of water and crap that many other fenders might miss. The ends are made from a soft rubberized transparent plastic, which is also pretty cool, they toss small gravel, rocks, water and mud aside pretty efficiently. Assembly and adjustment is performed with a hex wrench, but once you get them on, they stay in place. My previous fender required constant re-adjustment, so its nice to see someone get the design right.

Great Fenders

Fenders are very easy to install. Easy to take off when not needed and durable for long use. With the flared ends it catches alot of water other fenders dont. Good price for a fender set such as these!
