(More customer reviews)These are the most inexpensive fenders Planet Bike makes. And for your money they are completely functional and useful.
I've bought 2 sets. I put one on a Raleigh mountain bike. The second set I put on a black Surly LHT. They match the frame beautifully. In both instances the bikes had 26" tires. (Note: on the LHT I painted the back third of the rear fender white, similar to a European bike, to improve traffic visibility. Painting them is easily accomplished by using polycarbonate spray paint. Any over-spray can be easily removed by rubbing it with a little WD-40. So please be aware that even though these come in black, they can be painted to match any frame color).
The nice thing is they are solid, they function excellently in keeping the grit off the bike. They look good and they are tough.
Both fenders have single stays... so if you're into the "double stay" look of more expensive fenders these may not suit you. They also are only adjustable at the hub end. Each stay is formed as one continuous piece of wire that wraps around the fender through a hinge. This also is less functional than more expensive fenders that allow you to adjust stay length at either end. For me, this has presented NO issues.
I highly recommend these fenders. They appear they'll last for years to come. Put 'em on and forget about 'em. Believe me, I've had other fenders that required constant tinkering. I've NEVER had to readjust these.

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.
