4.0 out of 5 stars I mean it's a fender. What's to be wrong about it?, July 10, 2009

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 hardware store is fun. If you aren't mechanically inclined go to a shop.

That being said. If you have disc breaks and/or other attachments like racks, you probably want the Planet Bike EZ variety. Me, I like the yellow fenders because a) they are different, and b) they are highly visible and I don't live in a bike friendly town. So, to rig them to your bike just go and get brackets like the one that goes around your seatpost for a reflector and attach them to your forks and frame to gain extra attachment points. Finding the right size is surprisingly difficult and employees at Big Box Hardware will look at you like you are asking for a defibrillator. I managed to find some that had a little strip of rubber on the inside, though. You may have to get creative.

The point of all this is, for what you pay for these fenders, the manufacturer could afford to supply four little brackets that would work just swell and perhaps some more explicit directions (though the ones they supply are pretty to the point). Other than that I have no complaints. They work, and they look cool. I would recommend them.

As a new commuter, I wanted to get my bike completely outfitted all at once, which meant putting fenders on now before the rainy season. These fenders mounted securely and the rear one is installed in conjunction with a Topeak Explorer Bicycle Rack with Disc Brake Mounts. I had to make two small adjustments during installation: 1) I had to use a spacer where the front of the rear fender mounts to the cross bar behind the front derailleur to avoid interfering with its operation; and 2) I had to substitute the mounting bolt that secures the front fender to the back of my suspension fork with a shorter one to get a tight fit. Now bring on the rain!

I commute 10 miles to school and they do a great job keeping the gunk off of me when riding in the rain and puddles. They are the best!!!!
