A pretty good addition for cycling in rain or wet conditions
The racing blades look sleek and are easy to install. The adjustment takes some time. A sufficient distance (1.5 cm) to the tyre is needed to prevent the blades from rubbing against the tyre while cycling. This did happen to me during the first rides, causing an annoying noise. It is necessary to tighten the rubber bands quite a bit to allow less play in the fastening. It may also be necessary to adjust after several hours of use. When the wind is strong, my experience is that your shoes still get wet from splashing water, but less so than when cycling without blades. In calmer weather, my shoes stay reasonably dry. My jacket stays nice and clean. So an improvement, but with rain or a wet road surface you still have to clean your bike after a ride.

Great product for rear, but be careful with the front mudguard.
Good product for the price, just be careful with the front mudguard. It came loose on me while cycling because I touched it with my shoe in front of a traffic light. The next moment my front wheel blocked because the mudguard got stuck, leaving me on the ground.

Sufficient
Universal mudguard set, fits in this case road bike with rim brakes. Mudguard attachment although very universal, less stable (vibration/movement in mudguard)

Great will fit most biked
Once fitted work fine . Good water protection . But don’t really fit oval front forks like on my Ridley but make em fit with a bit of cutting. Did the job.

Not entirely satisfied
Assembly is quite tricky and takes time. What disappoints me is that the rear mudguard is almost impossible to mount correctly on my frame as it will hit the caliper. Eventually managed to mean the whole thing with very little margin, but not confident and large bumps in the road surface can be heard back as the wing either hits the tyre or the caliper.
