Review on πŸ’ͺ Enhanced Performance with SKS Schiebel Axis: Unleash Your Full Potential by Reed Nuttbrock

Revainrating 5 out of 5

What SKS should have in their wings!

I'm giving five stars although SKS should get -5 stars because this metal is not built into their fenders, specifically Bluemel's 53 fenders (offshore fenders). All other SKS Bluemels and longboards I've bought came with a metal rear mount adapter, not the crappy plastic adapter that was in my latest Bluemels 53 (700c) fenders. Even moderate tightening of the plastic fastener on the seatstay bar will either cause it to come loose or the plastic to break. This ignores what the plastic will do in cold weather, i.e. become brittle and then break if you're lucky enough not to break the plastic mount the first time. Five stars for the fact that it works properly so the install goes as it should. Easy to install (wing crimper is best) and durable. And -5 stars for a cheap SCS.
