Customer Reviews

Good fenders, but better for 700c tires than 26" tires, complicated installation
I originally bought these for my 26" x 1.75" tires since the Amazon description says they are for 26" tires. However, according to the SKS packaging, they are actually for 700c tires, which I found to be the case when lining up the V-bar supports. You end up with a lot of extra metal sticking out past the fenders on 26" tires, which is unsightly. (You could cut them, but that would be more hassle than it's worth.) The SKS P65's would be too wide for my bike, and the P55's are impossible to find anywhere, so I got the Planet Bike Cascadia ATB 60mm fenders instead, which are awesome and much easier to install (the V-bar supports come pre-installed on the Planet Bike fenders). The SKS fenders allow you to put the V-bar supports anywhere you want on the fenders, in case you have other things on your bike that get in the way, such as a rear rack, for example, but the number of nuts and bolts you see when opening the package is slightly daunting. I have a rear rack on my bike, though, and had no problem with the Planet Bike fender supports getting in the way of anything.

This is the proper mapping of SKS fender size to tire size, according to the SKS package:

P35
700x20,23,25,28

P45
700x25,28,32,35

P50
700x35,38,40,42,45

P55
26x1.0,1.25,1.5

P65
26x1.6,1.75,1.9,2.1

Bike Fenders
Good fenders. Provide good coverage on our tandem, especially for my wife. It was necessary to do some minor trimming of the rear fender to make it fit between the chain stays, but can be easily accomplished. Highly recommended for keeping your bike and back clean with very minimal weight. A must for serious tandem riders.

fenders
this fenders are light, beautifully finish and relatively easy to mount.
is important to check the size of the bike tire. in my case the tires are a litler wider (700 x 38 C) but the fender adjust relatively well. Next tires will be 700 x 35 c
