You really can't beat these for the price. They're not perfect, but considering the price and the fact that they're not full fenders, I really can't knock them.

I bought these for my college commuter bike, which is a mid-quality suspension-fork mountain bike with 2.125x26" tires. They fit pretty well, albeit with a few snags as one should expect for universal fenders of any kind. Some of the brackets took a bit of tweaking, but everything went together with the included hardware.

The front fender does a great job of catching water thrown off the wheel and it conforms well to my 26" tire. It does bounce a bit on bumps and smacks the tire, but the bottom is tapered away from the tire so it doesn't get caught, it just slaps the tire once.

The rear fender isn't quite as nice as the front one as it arches up over the rear tire, leaving about a 3" gap at the top of the tire. It has a steel stiffener which helps keep it aligned over the tire, but it is still somewhat flexible side-to-side due to the lack of truly solid mounting brackets. It does the job, but it looks a little funny. It also doesn't protect the seatpost and bottom bracket from water, so your feet will catch a bit of water from here. This really isn't the fault of the fenders though, as they aren't intended to be full fenders.

Overall, I'd recommend these, especially considering how difficult it can be to find even decent fenders for mountain bikes. Their utilitarian performance combined with the low price makes them an excellent value.

I ride my bike about 3 miles daily around my campus. These mudguards keep my pants and backpack dry and clean and. I used zip-ties to attach the rear fender because my frame wasn't the type the fender was designed for, but it still works fine.

This does a decent job. I wish the fenders were longer. On a 26" wheel, I still get rocks hitting my feet on the pedals. The rear fender is also too short, but also mainly due to the fact that the bike I'm attaching it to (mountain trailz electric) seems more elongaged, and so the rear piece has to go farther up to properly attach to the post.

This product is flexible to attach, but more flexibility would be nice...

All in all for the price, this is a decent buy. I'll probably look to get longer ones in the future...

I have a 2009 Trek 7300 Hybird that I ride daily to and from work, even in the rain. The front fender fits beautifully on it and has prevented my bike from picking up a lot of sticky road gunk. The rear fender however does not fit at all...but that's more a design of my rear bike stem than a problem with this fender. Therefore the rear fender is NOT universal...I bought the SKS X-Tra Dry Rear Bicycle Fender as a replacement, which does fit and is universal (goes around any bicycle seat rod). Make sure you know how your bike forks are designed.

I would not have bought this set, even as cheap as it is, if I had known it wouldn't fit suspension bikes. The front fender fits, but you can't make the back one fit. There was nothing in the posting for it that let you know that. If you have suspension in the back, buy the fender with the nylon binding system. Niagra Falls Bikes are good people, though.

Like I said in my title- these little fenders do the job I ask of them. I have them installed on my girlfriend's Trek 7150 Hybrid bicycle. The rear fender is EXTREMELY close to rubbing though, and this is my only complaint. They were cheap, and keep the rain and mud off of us.

Do not purchase these fenders. The bolts and nuts used to attach them did not fit correctly. Nothing aligned correctly over the tires. Stay away.

This would have fit perfectly on my mountain bike, but it went on my girlfriends bike. The tubes on her bike required me to bend the fenders quite a bit to avoid tires rubbing the fenders. So I'd recommend this on a guys style mountain bike and not a girls style bike. It works on a girls bike, it just requires some modification/bending.

I guess you get what you pay for. At $15, these fenders are pretty good for its price since it does come with the hardware needed to install the fenders. They are wide enough to fit 26-28 inch wheels with road or hybrid tires but I'll warn mountain bikers with wide tires, they might not work as well as with these kinds of tires. I give it 3 stars because the height of the front fenders cannot be adjusted like rear fenders. I will have to make adjustments to get the front ones to fit properly without rubbing the tires. Overall, they will protect you from puddles of water and mud for the most part, and they should hold up under any circumstances.

Easy to install, front and back. I have a 26inch, Mongoose Mountainbike. Maybe front screw was little short but it worked. I use the bike to commute and like to jump every time I can; after a big jump, the fenders are still there. Great buy
