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.

I just tested these on my Surly Long Haul trucker with 26×1.5″ tires. They fit perfectly and mount fairly easily. The mud flaps are great. Last weekend I rode 100 miles on the dirt and mud C&O canal trail. There were many 50-foot long 3″ deep puddles, and these kept me and the bike almost dry with only a little mud on my feet and the bottom bracket.

It was great to ride through a long muddy puddle and just watch the water stream out of the fender, instead of covering my wate……

These work well. They even fit my rather large hybrid tires.

My previous fenders had ‘clips’ that connected the fender to the metal frame/ bike attachment — this broke easily.

These fenders are very secure and look great.

I commute to work in NYC, 12 miles RT. These well designed fenders are just what I needed for my 1986 Peugeot with 26″ wheels. I had to do a little bit of fiddling to get them to fit perfectly, but that’s always the case with full coverage fenders. These things really do what they’re supposed to do. I’ve had a few rain rides and these babies virtually eliminate road spray on your feet and legs. I’ve also driven through plenty of nasty garbage water (the real reason for fenders on a commuter rig……

The product is very nice, as described, though it’s black–this is mentioned in the text, but the photo is of the chromoplastic set.

As with most bicycle parts, it took a little tinkering to get this fitted to my liking. It could use longer arms in the front for taller forks like mine.

I ride a Trek 7100 converted for commuting (drops, saddle, tires, wheels have all been changed out), and these are a great addition to my 75 mile-per-week commute.

Logos are fairl……

Just got the 45mm black cascadias for my Giant Cypress hybrid with 700c, 38mm tires last night and installed them easily – they were just wide enough. I had to do some minor re-engineering with my rotory tool because I used a bolt at the chain stay bridge instead of a zip tie as suggested by the instructions. I simply cut the notch out to the end of the fender so it could slip over a pre-installed bolt. My bike had an existing threaded hole at the bridge to accept the bolt. Beside this, installa……

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!

planet bike spoiler rear bicycle fender

easyproducts — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 23:10:16 +0000

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 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.

The description of the part says “Freddy Fenders”. Fenders with the “S” on the end means more than one. Since bicycles have two places for them, the foregone conclusion would be that you are buying 2 fenders, not 1. However, only one came in the box despite the photo attached to my confirmation which shows 2, along with the reviews provided which reference 2. Not a good buy simply due to horrible, vague description and questionable business tactics forcing you to hunt down and buy a front fe……

I saw this on sale and bought one for my bmx. I don’t ride in the rain, but even going through puddles and run off water my shirt back would get dirty. Yes its meant for a front mount on a recumbent but I was able to get it mounted as a rear fender on my bmx using the included mounting hardware. If you’re handy you can probably get this to work on any bike with 20″ tires.
