As others have mentioned, you have to mount these off center or you kick them with your feet when you pedal. I agree with the person who mentioned adding plastic zip ties to add more additional securing to the rack so it rattles less. I line mine with Trader Joe’s reusable bags so nothing is lost through the wire openings when your bike bounces. One last note, it was totally my fault not to read this important little line in the product description: “Includes mounting hardware to mount quick and……

This basket is a very useful part of my bicycle. I have a difficult time unlocking the hook to open the basket
……

I purchased these rear racks to fit onto my Day 6 Dream Comfort bicycle. www dot day6bicycles dot com. The black baskets definitely look nicer.

The basket clips would not fit so I took the bike to the bike shop and let them work their wonders. They ended up using some Zip ties to secure it. On the positive side of this, it is harder to steal the baskets now as the zip ties are hard to reach and cut. And the zip ties hold it tight and prevent rattling.

Each side ba……

Works well for light grocery trips. While each basket can hold a considerable amount of weight, navigating an already heavy tandem bicycle with fully loaded baskets can be challenging. Remember to allow for additional clearance when passing obstacles with the baskets opened. This is especially true for long bikes where the baskets are so far behind the pilot. Each basket will hold 1 paper sack or 1 “green” bag. The clip that locks/unlocks the basket in the open/closed position can be a little ha……

I purchased this to attach to a new bike for my wife. She commutes daily via bike to teach school and she loves this basket. She can fill it with anything she needs to bring home or take to school. The panniers are larger than the non-folding Wald I put on her old 3-spd but secure nicely to the Blackburn rack on her new bike and they fold up deluxe when not needed. Excellent value and a great, useful product. Two thumbs up Wald!!

Well made and relatively easy to assemble. The metal frame wasn’t the correct length, I had to shorten them to fit (not easy to cut)and even then the fender didn’t fit the tire shape and sits uneven over the tires on the front and back. my bike, a DAWES SST, (700 X 28c), has the size tires advertised to fit these fenders but alas they don’t. Also I had to attached the fenders to the frame using zip-lock plastic strips since the attachment hardware didn’t fit my frame.
……

I have a Specialized Globe with 700×42 tires. I picked these fenders because they say they will Fit this size tire. What a challenge to install. I’m pretty handy with instructionas and tools , but it took me 3 hrs. to install these. Instructions are minimal and vague. I had to cut support rods and cut the rear fender front clip to fit the rear fender. The front fender was the major problem. You need about 1 inch of clearance between the frame and the tire in order for the thing to Fit. If you do……

Very attractive and well designed fender. The installation is a little tricky, but fairly well detailed for most cases.

I wish they’d thrown in one or two extra nuts, because I didn’t tighten them down tight enough and one of them got lost. Now I have to figure out which nut I need to replace it or buy a whole set for $11 plus shipping.

Still, the fender is very nice looking and works great.
……

The fenders fit the 26″ bike frame much better than adapting the universal set I had before, they do keep us clean in the wet road conditions. I did remove the plastic safety insert that attached the fender struts and got a much nicer fit. TC
……

Good fenders. Provide good coverage on our tandem, especially for my wife. It was necessary to do some minor trimming of the rear fender to make it fit between the chain stays, but can be easily accomplished. Highly recommended for keeping your bike and back clean with very minimal weight. A must for serious tandem riders.

planet bike spoiler rear bicycle fender

Design meets function with this unique quick-attach rear Spoiler Fender (#7030). This fender attaches to most bikes, including BMX, by either attaching to the seat tube (and around the seat stays) or to the seat post. This low-profile fender is fast and easy to install. It also has a built in sliding extender for maximum coverage……..

Technical Details

– Length is adjustable with simple knob
– Durable, all-weather polymer
– Fits most bikes, even BMX
See more technical details

Apparently designers had forgotten that some (if not most) seat tubes have derailleur cables exactly in the place where the spoiler must be attached.

Of course there are numbers of workarounds: from building your own adapter to smooth contacting areas to state of the art duct tape and zip tie solutions.

My spoiler will be attached to the bottom side of the bike rack. Telescopic spoiler that extends from underneath the rack – what could be more handy on rainy days?
……

this is a great fender that attaches low and sleek. it is great looking and i leave it on all the time. if it’s wet our or raining, just turn the knob and extend the fender out for full coverage. love it.

I bought these fenders for a hybrid bike. Easy installation. Works well. Local bike store is selling them for twice the amazon price. Happy with the purchase.
……

I have to say, the quality of the SKS fenders is much better than I expected for the price. Got all the hardware and required screws. The screws work great with my Fuji bike frame. Fits almost perfectly (I should have ordered 35mm because of little clearance above rear wheel on my road bike). I only wish the plastic end caps on the stays wouldn’t fall of that easily (I intend to **glue on** the remaining 3 I got).

Note: the rear fender is quite short, but the coverage is still good th……

I put these fenders on my hybrid commuter bike and have absolutely no problems what so ever. The installation was straight forward and a breeze. Just remember to keep the screws loose and tighten them as you adjust the fenders. What a relief to be able to go through puddles with out cringeing.
……

It came missing some screws, I had to go buy some to replace them. (it was $.99 for a dozen, I’m not complaining about price.) But the screws that DID come with it, some of them were too short to attach the fenders to the mounts on the fork of my bike and on the back.

The back fender was a little bit tricky to install on my bicycle, but it’s a really old bike so it’s probably just that.

Besides those installation cons, these fenders are great and work as intended flawlessl……

This fender set is so bad as to be useless. The fenders are poorly designed, and the hardware kit was a random bunch of stuff. There are 7 points of attachment for these fenders, and they came with 6 bolts of assorted lengths, 3 flat washers and 2 lock washers, 4 nuts (2 with threads too small to match the bolts), and some odd bracket stuff. There was an allen key, but no wrench to hold the nut. I had some hardware, so I put the fenders on, but decided they were such crap I couldn’t use them. Do……
