I used to think that mudguards on bikes were uncool, dorky, far too heavy and would slow me down. Most years I stop cycling to and from the shops at around the time of year it starts to permanently rain, get cold, the canal turns into one long 3 mile stretch of muddy puddle. I would arrive at the shop soaking wet, covered in filth and mud and scare many innocent shoppers. Not a great advert for leaving the car at home for such journeys. On arrival back at home the long process of scraping off the mud, wringing the water out of all my clothes and attempting to dry my shoes was quite time consuming and irritating. These mudguards have changed my life. They took around half an hour to fit, they come with an absolute tonne of bolts, plastic things and general inexplicable stuff to help with fitting but it wasn't too complicated to work out what worked best for me. Zip ties, the rear metal pole things and a bolt at the front. I would imagine you could fit these to more or less anything. They look very neat and, dare I say it, stylish. After a month of daily cycles up and down the canal in all kinds of horrific rain, storms and just general mud hell they have transformed my cycling life. I am not soaking wet at the end of every ride, most of the soaking through of clothes, even in heavy rain it seems comes from spray off the tyres which these mudguards totally eliminate. They are quite sturdy, some helpful but misguided person recently cut down every hawthorn and blackthorn bush along the tow path and scattered the branches, and thorns, all over the path. There frequently get sucked up by wheels, or just stuck in my tyres by the massive thorns, and then batter into the mudguards with every revolution of the wheel. It makes an irritating noise but eventually the branch is smashed into small enough pieces by the mudguard and the wheel that it can fall away. Highly recommended.

I have a 29er hard tail mountain bike with disk brakes which is use mostly for bike-packing and day rides on gravel or unmade tracks. On a recent ride, I ended up covered in some not very savoury material which frankly, I could have done without. Time for some mudguards (or fenders). These SKS mudguards are well made as I would expect from SKS. Both are of a decent length and the rear one can even be shortened using the handy pattern marks embossed on the plastic for this purpose. The mudguards are accompanied by a fairly decent array of fittings to help make the job of mounting them on your bike a little easier. As others have noted, there is a serious omission in that there are no P-clips suitable for shocks (suspension forks) that have no eyelets on them (like mine). I ended up purchasing some generic P-clips for this purpose for less than £5; SKS also sell similar items but they are a little more expensive (obviously, you need to make sure that you buy the correct size). All bikes are different, whilst these mudguards are generic for a 29er bike, you may need to adapt fittings to suit your machine. On my bike, the rear mudguard was a doddle to fit - the frame clips and judicious use of some rubber fasteners (also not included in the fittings that accompany the pack) made this very easy. I did not use stays for the rear mudguards, instead I adapted (i.e. bent) one of the brackets in the kit so that I could attach the mudguard using this. There was plenty of clearance around the tyre and disk brake and the mudguard covered the whole of my 50+mm wide tyre. The front mudguards were a little more complicated - as mentioned my bike does not have eyelets on the shocks so I had to use P-clips. The stays also needed to be shortened - a pipe cutter made this easy. I don't recommend using a hacksaw, but if that's all you have, it will do the job. The stays can be fine tuned using the adjustable ends to ensure sufficient tyre clearance. Again, there was plenty of clearance around the tyre and disk brake and the mudguard covered the whole of the tyre. In use, these mudguards are excellent. They look good on my bike and are secure and strong. They do a great job of protecting me and my kit from spray (and worse) on the trails. Recommended but be prepared to spend some time fitting them to your bike.

basicly the mudguard stay on them is way to long I need to cut about 10cm off them for them to have any chance of fitting I will not be buying SKS products again

Bought for bikes with 27.5"/2.1 wheels/tyres & they fit well. Supplied with lots of parts to fix to your bicycle, which should allow you to fix to a lot of different bikes. They have a good length, which covers most of the tyre & should keep most dirt off you & the bike. Not cheap, but you get what you pay for & these are a worthwhile purchase. Shipped in a cardboard box which meant they arrived in perfect condition.

He de decir que los guardabarros para el precio que tienen son buenos ya que las bicicletas de 29 pulgadas de querer instalarle unos tienen que ser de este tipo que sean grandes y que vayan sujetos con varillas porque los que se sujetan solo de la tija del sillín acaban moviéndose mucho y son incómodos. El trasero lo pude montar sin problemas utilizando la varilla corta y el delantero tuve que recortarla porque era un poco larga y quedaba muy separado de la rueda. Además en el guardabarros delantero el único pero que le pondría es que no vienen las sujeciones necesarias para montarlo a la horquilla y las tuve que comprar aparte, lo cual en el anuncio no lo especifica. Pero en general por unos 30 euros entre los guardabarros y las sujeciones extra que no venían incluidas lo veo una buena opción si quieres que una bicicleta sobre todo de 29 pulgadas no te dé problemas en días de lluvia.

After reading all reviews was a bit skeptical about these fenders, decided to try and in reality installation was fairly easy. Fenders are good.
