I bought this fender because it matched the Apex one I already had for the rear wheel of my mountain bike. I commute and this bike gets me to the train station rain or shine. I am happy to report that the one time I rode this bike in a drizzle with puddles on the street in suit pants and dress shoes mind you I did not get a drop on me from what the front tire kicked up. I watched with absolute joy as the water collected and drained in a controlled manner down the bottom of the fender exactly ……

I bought this fender from amazon 2 years ago. It is still working. Mounting to my bike was very easy (using small hex driver) and it fits perfectly (The fender comes with two different size mounting; If one does not fit the other will). The mounting has locking lever, so I can quickly attach/detach the fender as I like. It does the primary job, guarding all mud/splash from front wheel. So I can ride faster on wet surface and keep my shirt and my face clean.

CON: External force will mak……

This set of fenders did not fit my 17″ mountain bike.

The front fender bolts to fork crossmember, which won’t work because i have rock shocks (which has crossmember, but no through-hole)

The rear fender will bolt on,,, but is not long enough to protect mud from hitting the back of my head.

My bad … I thought i could save money by buying online… but i have learned that this type of accessory is something i need to get locally,,, so i can fit it to my bike.

Update 06-27-09: Still wokring great.

I am building up a medium duty commuter e-bike. Wanted to avoid that dirty stripe down my clothes or wet legs if I get caught by wet roads. Hey – the Dutch folks know how to use a bike… Racks, baskets, fenders, etc…

These fenders fit my the back of Trek 4300 mtn bike perfectly. All the necessary mounting holes and bolts already existed for the rear fender. Removed the back wheel and it was done in 10 mins. Bolts included in the kit ……

These fenders took a bit of engineering to fit properly, but once installed they look like they will work well. They cover a 700 x 42C tire with room to spare.
……

Fenders didn’t fit my bike…I returned them and was very impressed with the prompt, courteous customer service…would buy from again without hesitation!

I have developed two very strong opinions. One is that all bike fenders are overpriced. We are talking at most $5-7 in materials and labor sold for $25-50. I mean it’s two strips of plastic and some hardware. Not knocking capitalism… just saying. The second is that if you order something on line that has to be assembled, downloaded, or otherwise installed or manipulated don’t whine that it doesn’t magically just happen. An hour or two of monkeying around with tools and going to the hardw……

The fenders were shipped promptly, they arrived three days after I placed the order, however there was a problem. The wrong fenders were sent due to Planet Bike mislabeling the fenders. I received 26 inch x 61mm fenders instead of the 700c x 45mm fenders. I emailed Niagara and they promptly sent the correct fenders with return shipping for the first set of fenders. Good company to do business with.
……

I’ve had other planet bike fenders in the past, but the rigid construction and hardware for the hardcore set is a huge improvement. I would definitely recommend these over the other types available from planet bike.
……

The fenders were not difficult to install, thought, I had to supply some different bolts and nuts. Not unexpected, all bikes are different in structure. A trip to the hardware store did it. I put the fenders on a Nashbar Cyclocross frame I use for daily commuting. No complaints here, though I can see where it might have to be done by a LBS if a person is not somewhat mechanicly inclined. I did have to replace the front derailleur because of clearance issues.(needed a better one anyway!) NO COMPL……

I have had these fenders on my ‘08 GT Transeo 4.0 for about a week now, and they have really helped in keeping the road grime off of my back. I wish my bike shop stocked the Cascadias, because I would have gotten those instead. The mudflaps that come on these don’t do much.

Great fenders. Fully fit my bicycle, no installation problems. support arms are nice to keep it sturdy and secure. they also allow for slight adjustments to fit your tire perfectly. It says the compound of these fenders is indestructible! Don’t want to test that though. Mudflaps are nice. These fenders keep my dry from tire water! of course it won’t protect you from going through a big puddle, fenders will protect you want water that is brought up from the wheel. These are nice when it is……

Even though I have an older bike the fender set required no modifications. The install was straight forward and took about an hour. The fenders are working very well.
……

I read in reviews before I bought this product that you had to be a little mechanically oriented to install them. So I was ready with the drill and different screws before they were delivered. When I installed them they went on without any problem. No refabricating or anything and they look sharp. I don’t know if I just happened to have a bike these work well with or what but it didn’t take me long at all to install them and they feel very sturdy. Good product.
……

These “universal” fenders did not fit, at least not totally and definitely not at all when I tried it in combination with my rear rack. However, after buying some longer screws (and a couple shorter ones) some lock tight nuts and a whole lot of zip ties at the hardware store I made it work.

I bought the yellow version so it wouldn’t fade in the sun as bad (plus you can’t beat “free” shipping). Once I got them on they did their job perfectly, that is keeping all the mud and rain from s……

“universal” fit can be tricky. They fit…after some cutting and bolting a new hole plus a few extra modifications so they wouldn’t interfere with the tires and brakes.

They now work. and I have high hopes they will keep the wet stripe off my back ( and elsewhere) during inclement weather.

Purchased the Shockboard Fender for my wife’s Diamondback. The salesman at the bike shop noting it was good German design should have put me on notice. The body is single piece, so fender assembly and tire removal is hampered with having to wrestle the full fender through and around the brake assembly.

This product was over double the price of the comparable Topeak fender, which also installed in less than 5 minutes, than 15 for the SKS unit. If you travel with your bike and are cons……

It is adjustable and comes with straps to attach it to the bike. I am happy with the fenders.
……

I figured these would be better for me because I would like to take my fenders off for some rides. I was wrong, the slick technology advertised is pretty much rubber bands.

Fickle, wobbly, unstable… Man, I should have gone with regular fenders. Also, one of the beams broke, so I had to join it back together. Only been used about 5 months of street commuting.

In summation, if you have the eyelets for regular fenders; BUY REGULAR FENDERS! Regular fenders are superior, easi……

I put these fenders on a mountain bike with a front suspension fork and disc brakes that had no eyelets or other accommodations for fenders at all. By bending the stainless steel rods, the fenders can be positioned exactly where you want them.

I also drilled a couple of extra holes in the front fender so that I could rotate it more toward the ground behind the tire, to keep most mud and dirt out of the front derailleur and chain. The front fender is secured to the top of the front……

I have an old rigid frame/fork ATB and originally bought for it the ‘Planet Bike Hardcore ATB Fenders’–the ones that attach via screws into eyelets on your frame. They fit perfectly and solidly. However the rear fender interfered with my rear rack’s mounting; both preferred the same eyelets and I would’ve had to bend the stays on the fender to get them to coexist. So I reluctantly returned that set for this SpeedEZ fender set with the eyelet-less attachment mechanism.

Now the rear ……

The fenders are incredibly easy to install, and can be used on my hybrid bike which lacks some of the eyelets required to install regular fenders. The coverage is a lot better than my old, cheaper “Freddy Fenders” and this one even has mud-flaps. I originally thought that the lack of rigidness in the attachment bars would be a problem, but I ride fast and hard in traffic and I haven’t had any scraping yet. I highly recommend these, especially to someone installing fenders on a hybrid/mountain……

I know I definitely needed a fender for my front wheel, and this one seems to prevent some of the water / mud / slush from getting to my front derailleur. But I don’t think it is as effective as I’d hoped. It was certainly very easy to install, and it looks nice on my Scott Sportster P55.
