SKS Raceblade Long Bicycle Fender Set

Excellent fenders which neatly fit around my low-clearance caliper brakes. I'm quite new to road bikes and found these went on easily and look great. They are a perfect fit for my bike.I would recommend when you are installing the adapters to your brakes that you take an alen wrench, screwdriver, or something similarly thing to wedge between the adapter and your tire. That made it easy to tighten the brake without the adapter slipping down and rubbing against the tire.Unfortunately I had a shipping issue, the plastic bag with the "4x Alloy Lugs" was torn and I only had 1 of 4 lugs. Their customer support shipped out replacements which made it here in a few days. No big deal, but it did delay installation awhile.

I've bought these fenders for Specialized Allez 2020, which is an entry level Specialized road bike. Allez has special holes for fenders on the wheel forks, close to the axles, and the fenders even come with compatible screws. So, technically, there are two ways to install these fenders: using either these special holes or the wheel axles. Unfortunately, these fenders are not compatible with the first way of installation. The screw holes are located far enough from the axle, to make front fender not fit at all, and the rear fender to be lifted too much above the wheel, making it look unpleasant.So, you can install the fenders fit only at the axles. In this case, they fit well. It does take some time to tweak them in such a way that they don't rub the wheel. The downside of this method is that if you need to take a wheel off the bike for some reason (cleaning, replacing the tube, repair), you'll have to remove the fender as well. It is not the end of the world, but I wish they could be installed at the fender screw holes.Besides that issue, the fenders are light weight, look sleek, and I am very happy with them.

If your bike has the clearance, go for single-piece fenders. But if it doesn't, these are probably your best option. They are pretty straightforward to install but will take quite a bit of adjusting to avoid any rub - but the good news is they are so lightweight and flexible enough that rub really won't cause any harm if it is to happen. I find it difficult to keep the little front pieces from bouncing around and touching the wheel, but that's the downfall of two-piece fenders. I just removed the front piece from the front fender. I get that a lot of bikes that these will fit on probably don't have eyelets, but I wish there was an option for eyelet mounts instead of just skewer. With that being said, the quick release points on all of the mounts are really nice and make the skewer issue not as big of a deal.

My husband - who is very mechanically inclined and does all of our home, car, and bike maintenance - and I spent a few hours fighting with these trying to get them on my Motobecane. Eventually we gave up and I brought my bike and the fenders to my father-in-law who has a workshop stand for bikes - the stand made a huge difference and we got them on in about 30 minutes. I've been using them since late October and the difference has been great. They do a great job at preventing splash back from going through mud and slush. These have held up on the notoriously awful Iowa pothole-filled streets as well as the bumpy brick streets with no issues. I'd estimate I've put about 200 miles on them since installing due to lots of poor riding weather but they were a great improvement.

This is my second set. First set lasted about 3 years, maybe 20 total rides (all road), cracked due to vibration at mounting arm. I'd had excellent customer service multiple times over that span getting replacement parts, so had no reservations going back to the same product for another set. This is an upgraded version, better/stronger mounting brackets.These are clip-on, meaning they're only on the bike when you want them to be. Nice days, unclip and leave them in the garage. Wet/rainy days, it takes maybe 2 minutes to clip them in and they are very good coverage (including small extensions beyond the brake mounts). I ride 700x23, 25 and there is no rubbing, might be a little contact if going over 28's.I can say I've gotten many compliments on group rides from riders drafting behind me--there's zero spray from these. Other than the short life on the first pair, I've got nothing but raves about these.

I got my first set of these at REI and then when I ran over a stick and the back one broke when the stick got sucked up the wheel I knew I was getting another replacement. They have good coverage on your wheels and get very far down to keep a good amount of rain off you. They have a neat attachment system that connects to the same bolt your rim brakes mount to. So if you are comfortable taking those off then you should be good to install these. I had a bike ship install them the first time but I just popped the replacement on when I broke the rear one and didn't have to replace the mount.If you want to take them off then they aren't too much of a struggle. You can angle the mounting stubs on the wheels away and it doesn't take a long time to take on or off.Basically:Great rain coverageNot too crazy to install but will take a little time if you know how.Not too heavy (I'm not picky about weight but these are pretty light).

Although this product is only rated to fit 25mm tires there is plenty of room for my 28s. Several online reviewers have successfully installed these fenders with 28s, so I thought I would give it a shot. I think it really comes depends on your specific frame and rim setup. I encountered no issues with rubbing/clearance whatsoever. The installation process was super straightforward and required nothing more than an allen wrench and a multitool (for minor adjustment). I would definitely give it a shot with tires up to 28mm wide.

Purchased these as the reviews were good and the bike manufacturer also recomended them. Fitting the brackets to hold the mudguards was not to bad on the front, not too difficult holding the brackets central, pulling the brake and tightening the calliper in place, needed something under the brackets to hold them clear of the tyre or the rearwarrd facing one wold catch.The rear brackets are a different matter, not matter how much I wedged somethign under the forward facing bracket as I tightened the calliper up, it still caught on the tyre, the rearward faccing one was fine. Seing as the forward facing one at the rear is only the short part and mailny protects the down tune, it is no great loss just annoying.Fitted the mudguards to the brackets and they look fine but then spin the wheel and it catches, a lot of tweaking pulling and pushing eventually sees them with minumum catching. So they look OK, a bit of f faff to get them jsut right and the clerance on my bike under the rear forks was not sufficient to fit part of the mudguards. Will see how they perform over the next few weeks and update

Very good mudguards. I have a Specialized Allez road bike. My back wheel is equipped with a 27mm tyre and there is almost no clearance between the tyre and the brake caliper (about 1 mm only). I couldn't fit the Crud Raodracer Mk3 mudguards, but these fitted nicely. In order to fit them I had to install the metal piece (the one that you put behind the brake caliper) upside down to pass it over the brake caliper (instead of below in the standard position). See pictures if this is not clear enough. Mudguards are light, look robust and look good on the bike. Very happy with this purchase.

Had the first ride on a very wet day with these on my bike, really pleased, they were excellent. Light and strong, just what I was looking for. They were pretty easy to fit although they didn’t come with any fitting bolts which was a little surprising, however easily fixed with a quick trip to Halfords.I did notice the front front (not a typo!) guard floats around a little bit, so when going over bumps on our rubbish roads so it bounced off the tyre at times making a bit of noise... not a big issue.Pleased with my purchase, would recommend 👍🏻

THe is not Cooler Mudguard than this one. I owned 3 different ones from major brands and with this one, you will not have any compatibility trouble and it looks PERFECT!!I am very picky about how cool my road bike looks ... I use 25-700 wheels ... You will not regret it. Price is very low for the quality. It would fit perfectly 23-700 wheels too. As i have tried them already and same cool.

Great design allowing you to take the guard off but with fixings staying in place.My Cinelli experience has no eyelets For accessories so this is perfect with the skewer fittings.Great design, set them up once and then easily remove and reattach
