Great Fenders
Just got the 45mm black cascadias for my Giant Cypress hybrid with 700c, 38mm tires last night and installed them easily - they were just wide enough. I had to do some minor re-engineering with my rotory tool because I used a bolt at the chain stay bridge instead of a zip tie as suggested by the instructions. I simply cut the notch out to the end of the fender so it could slip over a pre-installed bolt. My bike had an existing threaded hole at the bridge to accept the bolt. Beside this, installation was still easy. The polycarbonate is strong but flexible and easy to work with. The stays are very sturdy and the smart hardware set-up allows for easy and quick fine tuning. Got up this morning and noticed the wet roads outside so I couldn't wait to try them - Wow! what a difference! Kept me and my bike clean and dry and they look great!
Update - 22 Dec 08: It finally happened... A stick jumped up and caught the rear fender stays. The fender folded in three places and was tightly stuffed under my rack. I thought it was destroyed but removed the rack, pulled the fender back out, adjusted the stays and was on my way. Three creases are still visible but it did not break and still works as new - I bought a set for my wife's bike!
Great product, excllent company
I've had these fenders on my road bike for the last ~2 years, some 10000+ miles, and they're great: the flaps minimize the gunk splattering and the fenders have stayed adjusted. (And they look good.) I'd been experimenting with slightly wider tires and didn't realize it had worn off part of the rear clamp. Fortunately, Planet Bike is awesome in its forward-thinking and makes replacement parts available for a very reasonable fee. I've since picked up a second set of fenders for my long-distance bike.
They're a great product and essential for year-round commuting in the Pacific Northwe't.
Excellent bicycle fender for my old Trek touring bike
Very useful on rainy days, no more splashes on my back- even protects the lower part of the frame, chain and other components from excess dirt and water. Now that I have it on bike, I wonder why didn't I use it earlier! All of my other bicycles are getting their own.
It came with all the necessary hardware and took only about 30 min to install, very easily done!
