 They will do, but I could imagine improvementsNov 20, 2007
By N. Caniglia
I have an old rigid frame/fork ATB and originally bought for it the 'Planet Bike Hardcore ATB Fenders'--the ones that attach via screws into eyelets on your frame. They fit perfectly and solidly. However the rear fender interfered with my rear rack's mounting; both preferred the same eyelets and I would've had to bend the stays on the fender to get them to coexist. So I reluctantly returned that set for this SpeedEZ fender set with the eyelet-less attachment mechanism.
Now the rear fender fits nicely underneath my rack, but the front fender is quite unstable using only the given mounting fixtures. The part of the front fender covering the back arc of the wheel is well supported by the fender stays, but nothing secures the section of fender at the top of the wheel from rattling around between my rigid fork when on bumpy terrain. The problem is easily remedied by threading a wire through the holes in the bend of my fork and then through holes in the plastic of the fender, but it would have been nice to have the option of the metal bracket extending perpendicular from the top of the fender to screw into the fork bend that you see in the other fender set model (and in the inaccurate picture shown here).
Also the rubber-strap based mechanism of holding the fender stays to the frame is a bit lame in my opinion. Seems like they could have come up with something cleaner and more durable without giving up versatility--perhaps flexible metal clamps with rubber cushioning and screws to tighten.
All-in-all they are durable and do the job.
This after about 1 1/2 months of use: The tab at the end of the rear fender that attaches to your bike frame (with a zip-tie) broke off at the point where it narrows in from the rest of the plastic fender to become a tab. I repaired the fender by drilling a couple holes above the break-off and affixing a metal bracket to hang down as the tab once had and then attaching that to the frame instead. Indestructible? I think not. But there sure aren't many choices out there for full fenders.

 "SpeedEZ" is accurateSep 13, 2007
By D. Hayward
The fenders are incredibly easy to install, and can be used on my hybrid bike which lacks some of the eyelets required to install regular fenders. The coverage is a lot better than my old, cheaper "Freddy Fenders" and this one even has mud-flaps. I originally thought that the lack of rigidness in the attachment bars would be a problem, but I ride fast and hard in traffic and I haven't had any scraping yet. I highly recommend these, especially to someone installing fenders on a hybrid/mountain/etc bike that's not really designed for fenders.

HappyDec 25, 2009

I have an older hardtail mountain bike. The front suspension fork has no mounting points for fenders, and a rear rack occupies the only pair of eyelets in back. So these fenders are about the only decent choice I could find. They install quickly and look pretty good.
Up front the fender is held by the braces' rubber "feet" against the fork tubes, and a zip-tie secures the top of the fender to the fork bridge. In the rear, the fender attaches via a screw near the bottom bracket, another screw near the top (by the brake on my bike), and the wire braces secured to the frame, using more rubber feet. The braces fit nicely under the rack on each side.
They mount more sturdily than I expected. Although they come with rubber straps to secure the wire braces' feet to the fork & frame, I used zip ties instead. It felt more secure. I also zip-tied the rear fender stays to the rack in a couple of places. There's very little wobble overall, and they don't get in the way of my brakes or feet. They're light, and the plastic is flexible, so hopefully it lasts a while.
I wish the rear was a bit longer, as I tow my kid's trailer and it's only partially effective in keeping spray off the trailer. I'll probably hang an additional flap from the mudguard next time I tow in the wet. As-is, the bottom of the existing mudflap is about even with the wheel hub, vertically.
Overall I'm quite pleased with these, and other Planet Bike gear in general. Commuting this time of year is nicer with fenders.

Highly recommendJul 13, 2008
By Midwest birdwatcher
I put these fenders on a mountain bike with a front suspension fork and disc brakes that had no eyelets or other accommodations for fenders at all. By bending the stainless steel rods, the fenders can be positioned exactly where you want them.
I also drilled a couple of extra holes in the front fender so that I could rotate it more toward the ground behind the tire, to keep most mud and dirt out of the front derailleur and chain. The front fender is secured to the top of the front fork with a nylon tie provided, and a tiny drop of super glue behind the fork keeps it centered. The rubber straps don't mar the finish of the bike and don't slip out of place on rough terrain.
I particularly like the rubber straps for the back because I can remove or replace the rear fender in less than a minute - for the most part, I'd rather not ride in mud and don't need it. The fenders are very light weight glossy black plastic and don't rattle or squeak.
In conclusion, I think this set a terrific and inexpensive solution for bikes not made to accept fenders and I'd buy them again.

Good Quality - Minor IssueAug 18, 2011
By Ian
These worked great for my bike with no mounting points. I commuted in everything from sun to snow, and great coverage. These work great with hard-tails with racks on the back.
The adjustment on these is easy, but takes some time to get right. Once it's set, it's good to go.
Also, there is a small gap in coverage behind the front wheel. nothing major, but a tad bit annoying in heavy rain or puddles.
PRO's:
- Easy to install
- Good coverage
- Versatile
- Price
CON's:
- Fine adjustments
