Review on 🚲 Black SKS-Germany 11317 S-Board Bicycle Front Fender by Eric Froedge

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good for $20, needs more room to adjust

The fender itself is fine, but due to the angle of my forks (which determines the angle of the fender) it protrudes a bit at the bottom. There are some adjustments to change the fender angle but not enough for my bike. If I want it to be the same distance from the tire I have to cut off a piece of the adjuster arm, drill holes for the new position and reassemble it. Not a terrible amount of work, but I wish there were some extra customization built in. I have 700 x 28 tires and although they are quite wide they seem to be designed for wheels larger than 700. You can see what I am talking about in the attached picture. It protrudes almost two inches at the back/bottom. For around $20 it does its job well and should look great once I finally get it adjusted properly, although I could forgo it in favor of a stiffer fender. Even when standing up, my foot will probably bump every now and then and the flex in the plastic will then force it into the tire. Overall, this is a good option when there is not enough room for rim brakes to fit a full fender.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Poorly thought out
