Reviews over the

SKS Bluemels Style

Assembly is really fitting, measuring, bending, sawing and all over again. I can also imagine that such a product is impossible to mount properly on all bikes. I'm glad my old dad still had all kinds of nuts and bolts lying around. Too bad too that most nuts are not stainless steel, so rust quickly.

Pros & Cons

If you think 'just' assembling a pair of mudguards you will be deceived. It does take some work. But the material is quite easy to fit. I hadn't thought about the fact that it is necessary to have an attachment point on the bicycle (also on the front fork) to mount these mudguards correctly. Unfortunately, the bike I mounted these mudguards on lacks an attachment point, so I attached them provisionally. For an MTB (wide tyres) this product is not suitable the mudguards are much too narrow for that.

Pros & Cons

It takes some work to assemble them, but then you have something. Very sturdy mudguards

Pros & Cons

Upon delivery of the mudguards, it turned out that the mounting parts were wrong in the package. (No V-adapters but straight adapters were delivered, not as shown in the photos). Efforts were made to find the cause so this would not happen again, and to fix it. Within the week, the mudguards were mounted on my bike. Top service from Mantel! The mudguards do what they are designed to do, and that is to stop all splashing water. Even when riding through (shallow) puddles you no longer get your feet wet. The mudguards look sleek, and if you adjust the mounting rods, they can be tailored nicely to any bike. I have already tested them briefly on a few bad gravel strips and the mudguards are quiet and stay firmly attached.

Pros & Cons

Great product, just pay attention to where the mounting lugs are on the fork. On my Cannondale Topstone they are a bit higher on the fork, so measuring out the correct position of the mudguard is a bit of a puzzle.

Pros & Cons

When they are in place, they work well. But it wasn't as plug and play as I hoped. Had to make another bracket for the front and cut a piece off the back. Then it fit well and is vibration free!

Pros & Cons

Without professional help and extra engineering, assembling these mudguards would have been impossible. A fun evening it was, but the assembly was hell. Otherwise fine article.

Pros & Cons

Nice mudguards of good quality but fitting them is a bit of a chore, count on over an hour and that is only if you are handy. Not for people who are not handy.

Pros & Cons

Slack in structure. Vibrates violently on uneven roads. Easy to mount and good to adjust to size.
