 Excellent fendersDec 11, 2010
By Craig S. Prior
These are the most inexpensive fenders Planet Bike makes. And for your money they are completely functional and useful.
I've bought 2 sets. I put one on a Raleigh mountain bike. The second set I put on a black Surly LHT. They match the frame beautifully. In both instances the bikes had 26" tires. (Note: on the LHT I painted the back third of the rear fender white, similar to a European bike, to improve traffic visibility. Painting them is easily accomplished by using polycarbonate spray paint. Any over-spray can be easily removed by rubbing it with a little WD-40. So please be aware that even though these come in black, they can be painted to match any frame color).
The nice thing is they are solid, they function excellently in keeping the grit off the bike. They look good and they are tough.
Both fenders have single stays... so if you're into the "double stay" look of more expensive fenders these may not suit you. They also are only adjustable at the hub end. Each stay is formed as one continuous piece of wire that wraps around the fender through a hinge. This also is less functional than more expensive fenders that allow you to adjust stay length at either end. For me, this has presented NO issues.
I highly recommend these fenders. They appear they'll last for years to come. Put 'em on and forget about 'em. Believe me, I've had other fenders that required constant tinkering. I've NEVER had to readjust these.

Great fenders, great priceAug 09, 2010
By Raleighphile
"Have Raleigh, will travel"
These are awesome fenders.
Yes, they are plastic and light. But it is not a big deal. One reviewer said they are flimsy -well duh! They are plastic and lightweight. If you want heavy steel fenders than go get yourself a set of 10lb steel fenders if you want to be able to lean your bike against the wall in such a manner that the fenders push against something solid and all the bike's weight is supported by the fender.
But if you want something light and strong that won't rust or dent then plastic is the way to go. The Fender stays are fairly strong and well-designed so that they can telescope to adjust to different tire and wheel sizes. The hardware is pretty well thought out and the fenders snapped onto my 30 year old MTB without so much as going to my junk box for extra fasteners. The M5 x 10mm screws were of pretty decent quality and better than what you get with many cheaper accessories. They have combo 8mm hex/Phillips heads and seem fairly well galvanized. Still, I'm swapping them out for stainless M5 x 10mm Button Socket Cap screws as soon as they arrive from fastener-express -a box of 20 costs just over $5 plus shipping. I bought a lifetime supply for all my bikes while I was combining the shipping. The adjustable rear fender mid-clamp is an engineering work of art and well designed to fit just about any bike as well as allow the fenders to nest in the eco-friendly packaging and be more secure in shipping while fit in a smaller box. Very green and smart!
Cons:
One thing I would suggest with any fenders is visibility. I put some 3M retro-reflective tape on mine to improve conspicuousness to the clueless cagers out on the road. I don't put much stock in cheesy bike reflectors and battery-powered electronics like blinky-lights can and do fail (although I do still believe in & use both -I want MOAR visibility when I'm on the mean streets after nightfall). My life is worth a few bucks in shiny tape in addition to stock reflectors and head/tail lights -und das blinkenlights. Planet Bike could & should incorporate color-matched retro-reflective tape on their fenders which would do so much more for their customer's safety than the few extra cents it would cost/unit.
These should also come with the mud flaps already installed. I guess the spandex mafia doesn't want the "ugly" flaps on their bikes or the added weight & wind resistance -but without the flaps I still got significant front tire splooge & spray on my crankest, chain, and frame near the lower case -as well as on my footsies. The mud flap is a necessary addition. I realize if the fender were longer it would be damaged by curbs and a flexible mud flap is necessary to fill the gap below where any fender wouldn't survive long. I just wish that Planet Bike (or the sellers on Amazon) would sell a version of these fenders with the flaps already installed. Maybe they do now -it's just a good idea.
The cons are not enough to drop this review down to 4 stars. For the price the value is just too high for anything less than 5 stars. But anything can use a little bit of improvement.

 NOT LONG ENOUGH!Mar 26, 2011
By M. Iza
"toots"
I bike commute to work very often. Planet bike is a good brand but I found these fenders to be very inadequate. The main problem is that the front bike fender is NOT LONG ENOUGH! I still got mud and road debris all over my clothes and bike. Unfortunately, I did not ride in the rain until I had these on for a while so now I can't return them. I would highly recommend you skip this planet bike product and purchase something else.
Maybe the folks giving this product 5 stars don't care about getting muddy. But this is the reason I got fenders in the first place. Work clothes + Mud = Bad day.

Required equipmentApr 04, 2010
By Paul D. Eberhardt
Unless you're one of the few riders that actually goes off the trail with your ATB, you are a fool for not having fenders on your bike. They keep you clean and dry and they preserve your chain/sprocket. Put aside your twisted sense of 'cool' and buy these fenders. You won't be afraid to ride when it's a bit wet out. You'll laugh at the car wash and those mysterious green puddles outside of restaurants in the morning. Bring it on!!! And while you're at it buy some street tires and donate the 'mudders' to your cool friends who like to pedal real hard on pavement.

no more wet backs!Nov 16, 2010
By B. Khatri
I have these fenders hanging over my 26 x 1.95 tires on my bike. My bike didn't have holes for two of the screws for the rear fender. The fenders come with cable ties in case your bike is like this, but not enough if you're planning to attach cable ties to both the seat stay area of the rear fender and the seat tube area of the rear fender. The installation was easy (comes with instructions) and requires only a Phillips head screwdriver. It would be nice if these fenders came with extra cable ties for bikes that don't have holes in every spot for fenders. However, even with the cable ties, these fenders work wonders for keeping your back dry in the rain.
