A pretty good addition for cycling in rain or wet conditions

- Sieb, 27 December, 2023

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.

Pros & Cons

Appearance
Reasonably easy to attach
Reasonably protective against water and dirt
Fine-tuning needed due to flexability
Still not completely clean

Great product for rear, but be careful with the front mudguard.

- Jan, 22 March, 2022

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.

Pros & Cons

Easy to fit
Finally no more dirty back
Rear mudguard is firmly attached
Front mudguard not stable if touched

Sufficient

- Martin, 2 December, 2021

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

Pros & Cons

Easy mounting
Universal for several bicycles
Less stable (due to flexible supports)

Great will fit most biked

- Alan, 7 November, 2021

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.

Pros & Cons

Good adjustable fixings
Great water protection
Don’t really got oval front forks
Had to slightly chop the front fitting .
Take a lot of fitting if you have oval forks

Not entirely satisfied

- Andries, 28 November, 2020

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.

Pros & Cons

Neat finish
Fit
Stems too short
