Good mudguard but complicated to fit
The mudguard is good quality but very, very complicated to fit. What's more, the attachment systems are not identical between the front and rear mudguards, which is very surprising.

Good mud flap does what it needs to do
Was easy to fit until a tensioning strap broke. I looked for an alternative and now it is back in place. It keeps everything dry above the level of the shoes. These still get dirty all the time.

Ideal for wet weather rides
These fenders do their job perfectly and are easy to install. I am very satisfied with this purchase.

Does what it needs to do!
So far, it meets expectations. Some puzzling with putting it on, but if it sits, it sits. After a long ride through the woods, I was mud-free, unlike fellow cyclist who does not use mudguards. I have not yet dismantled the mudguards and put them back on again. Am curious to see if they stay in good condition even then.

Almost good
I purchased these mudguards as my old raceblades from SKS did not fit well under the downtube. These are certainly much better and I also liked the front section to the front mudguard. But a few issues. The mudguards are held in place by telco strapes which when wet teen to allow the mudguards to move as the material stretches a bit. I have now cable tied mine and that makes for a much more secure fit. The stays to fir the mudguard into my disc brake bike where too long even after adjustment so I had to cut a cm odd off the end to get them to fit. Easy enough but i checked with other cycle bubbies with same guards and all had same issue. Easy enough to resolve but should you have to. Finally I have not fitted my rear mudguard as its ridiculously short and does not protect riders behind - my old race blade was longer. I know you can get an extension but surely they could just make them longer in the first place

Well designed for disc brakes only.
Didn’t realise they are only suitable, as far as I can tell, for bikes with disc brakes.
