Review on 🚲 Black SKS-Germany 11317 S-Board Bicycle Front Fender by Paul Williams

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great protection for a road bike!

I'm cycling a lot more than I used to because of the pandemic. I took the SKS front fender because I didn't want to miss a ride just because the roads might be wet or a little rain. The installation takes about 90 seconds. The spacers are attached to the front fork with two rubber bands. They're incredibly easy to put on and take off, yet stay in place while you ride. The fender can be adjusted 5-10 degrees to accommodate different fork angles. Once the wing is installed and adjusted, it stays in place. I've driven mine about 500km and it hasn't moved at all. I haven't experienced a downpour yet, but I've done a couple of wet morning rides and stayed completely dry. As most bikers know, even on a wet road surface you get wet and spattered feet. This fender completely prevented both of those issues and helps keep my bike clean. I was skeptical because of the thinness of the wing but it worked flawlessly. Also, the fact that it's so light and aerodynamic means I'll be keeping it installed 24/7 from now on. Even though it's easy to remove, I don't see the point. On weekends I drive 50% to work and 50% for fun/exercise and the extra protection is worth it. This will help me a lot towards my goal of keeping my road bike running 10 months a year in Wisconsin.

Pros
  • Outstanding overall performance
Cons
  • Clarity
