Review on ๐Ÿšฒ Topeak Defender M1 and XC11 Bike Fender Set: Perfect Fit for MTB 29-Inch Tires! by Edwin Cen

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Check the brake line clearance

Overall these fenders do exactly what they are designed to do and offer solid protection from mud and spray. The rear wing is good, strong and so big. However, the front end interfered with my brake line. Due to the position of my brake line, it slips into a gap behind the fender and rubs against the frame. I tried putting some protective tape on the front of the frame where it rubbed, but it damaged the front of the carbon frame as well as the fork. Also, the front fender has a lot of play and flex and occasionally hits the frame. We'll probably continue to use the rear wing, but we'll get a different option for the front. This is primarily an issue with my bike and may not be an issue for everyone. I just recommend checking to see if your brake line could be the problem. If she looks far enough away, you may not have the same problem as me.

Pros
  • Great Price
Cons
  • Not All Will Fit
