About Planet Bike
In November of 1996, Planet Bike was founded in Madison, Wisconsin. In many ways, Planet Bike began as a social experiment that dedicated itself to doing business in a different way. Instead of being just another company that develops and sells products with profit as its end goal, Planet Bike wanted to help bring about positive change for people, their communities, and the environment.

Despite being a simple machine, the people at Planet Bike have always believed that the bicycle has great potential to help improve the world and the lives of the people in it. From the start, they have embraced an alternative corporate purpose which seeks to help get more people on bicycles by making communities friendlier places for the self-propelled. By donating 25% of company profits to causes that promote and facilitate bicycle usage, Planet Bike hopes to make an impact.

Social experiments aside, Planet Bike was born from the heart of a cyclist with a goal of making innovative, high quality, and practical bicycle accessories. Simply put, they strive to design and develop the best bicycle products in the world. In the company's short ten year history, they have made important product innovations within the bicycle industry. Advancements include the 4-line computer which is now a standard in the industry and the world's first self-contained HID light. Not bad for a company that ten years ago started as a one man operation. Today, while still a small company, Planet Bike continues to evolve and improve their product line with the goal of always striving to build accessories that make it easier for people to ride their bikes. Since 1996, Planet Bike's financial support of the grassroots bicycle movement has totaled $500,000. By 2010, they have made a goal to donate $1 million to organizations that are dedicated to making America a friendlier place for cyclists.

Customer Reviews

Stylish and Functional
I recently purchased these fenders for a modified magna mountain bike I own with dual suspension. I was a little skeptical at first that I would be able to attach these to the bike, considering the model type and the fact that my bike has 24" wheels instead of 26" wheels and the mounting brackets on my bike aren't considered standard. I had to use some of my own screws and re-bend the rods to fit correctly. (I doubt a user would have these problems with a regular bike.)

Once I hooked them up, they worked amazingly. The silver color goes well with the yellow black frame, and it contrasts nicely with the tires. The rubber pads at the bottom are also a nice touch. I've recieved lots of compliments already.

As far as working the 26" fenders down to 24" tires... I did have to put them under tension while I fastened them. And I plan on shortening the rear fender soon because it is too long for my bike.

If you're worried about the fenders scraping against the tire after a fall, the metal rods can easily be bent to re-align the fenders.

And They don't rattle!

I would recommend this product.
