 Do not buy this product or from NIAGRA CYCLE WORKSJun 26, 2008
By E. Bishop
"Wiretap Studios dot com"
Greetings. I ordered these for my Trek mountain bike. Regarding the fenders... as the other reviewer said, they do not fit. Holding them up, I guess they would fit the curve of the wheel, but they are impossible to mount, both the front and the back. The 'clip' is only about as big around as a quarter, very tiny. This may fit a 'road' bike or a fixie, but was nowhere near even clipping on my bike. You wouldn't even be able to force it, it would just break. Also, the front hardware just doesn't work, I have no idea how I would even put it on my bike. I consider myself fairly bright, and the instructions were vague, just 4 tiny pictures of what to do.
My bike is a standard size and shape of mountain bike (26"). At least in the description should be a warning that these are only for 'road' type bikes. This does not fit Mountain bikes OR bikes in the size range listed. On top of that, these aren't actually 'clip' on fenders, they are permanent mount, it 'clips' on permanently.
Regarding Niagara Cycle, they won't refund for a return unless the item is unopened. How would you know if it fit without opening the package, which is really just a bag of screws attached to two fenders that are zip tied together. They were both unfriendly and unwilling to facilitate a refund or exchange for another item. They wanted me to pay for return shipping and also not refund shipping both ways. This total cost would be double what the fenders even cost, meaning if it doesn't fit, you are out of luck.
Bottom line, don't buy these. Poor product, poor description, and poor customer service from Niagara cycle.

very good for its priceMay 08, 2008
By Nelson2013
Even before the product arrived I already suspected that the curves won't match exactly my bike, after all it will be very difficult to find the specific fenders for my bike. But, with the use of my heat gun I easily modified it to fit. I recommend using a hair dryer if there is no heat gun available. The material is made of plastic. Bend it while heating it. Overall, with its price and I am very happy with it.

 FIts fine and does the jobJun 19, 2010
By Peter
These mounted right onto my bike and do their job nicely. As you would expect with anything that claims a "universal fit" there was a little head scratching to adapt them to my particular frame, but nothing difficult. I didn't have a bolt hole in the rear part of the frame to mount the back fender holder, so I just used a zip-tie. EZ and it works great. At the bottom end of the back fender there is molded fork that snaps over the frame. I was afraid that my frame tubes would be too large a diameter for the clip, but the ABS of the fenders is really tough and accommodated things just fine. In the end the installation took me all of 10 minutes.
For the price I couldn't have asked for better! I bought these with a Delta Stem Raiser to convert an old Cannodale MTB to a daily town cruiser. With the free shipping on these and the stem raiser together it was like getting the fenders as a bonus. I am perfetly satisfied with them, especially after riding through muddy patches!
I can not imagine a single good reason to spend a single penny more on snap-on MTB bike fenders.

 The front fender does not fitMar 24, 2011
By ripul
The item does not specify which bikes it fits on. The rear fender fitted well, and it does a good job. The front one however did not have the same mounting as on my bike, so I could not get it working. For future buyers, this will not fit on a Schwinn Sidewinder 26".

If you've heard of a cobble job, thats how the fenders went on. Well at least the back one, I still haven't put the front one on. I have a NEXT bicycle, with the shocks in front, and back.
