Review on ๐Ÿšด SKS Velo 65 Trekking Front and Rear Snap-On Fender Set: Ideal for 26-Inch Bikes by Nick Cleary

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Overall good fender, poor Revain packaging, poor mounting hardware.

Protects against dirt, mud and puddle water and offers excellent coverage. It's plastic, but the price doesn't bother me. Although this is intended for a hybrid mountain bike frame, I was able to install it on a full suspension mountain bike without resorting to power tools and even though the kit lacked screws (you will need to purchase additional screws). pucks, etc.). It also holds in place well. The downside of this product is that during shipping Revain packs it in an oblong box which can warp the rear fender but I manage to get it back to its original shape by putting it back in the box within an hour or so box deform. The rear fender must be in contact with the tires, so the "SKS U-Stay Kit for Velo 65 Fender" must be purchased. However, the front retains its shape and does not require a U-Stay Kit. I love its aesthetic, it suits the bike, it doesn't look overdone like most of the 3rd party mud fenders found here at Revain when commuting a mountain bike down a regular road. I generally recommend the SKS Velo Fender series and they come in a variety of sizes to work on any bike frame, as long as you carefully measure the dimensions first and not just look at them on pictures and cross your fingers it will work. on your frame.
