🚲 SKS-Germany Alley Cat Matte Black B53 Full Coverage Fender Set for 700 x 38-47 Bicycles Review

installation difficult, instructions are half in German but not fully translated, graphics show parts that you can't get. It also didn't fit my bike so make sure yours matches the model.

Description says they are compatible with 700x47 tires. I have 45mm tires, measured 45.5mm at 4 bar. Too tight and it will rub both the outside of the tread and the centerline at the chainstay attachment point. Solid, looks good, just not true to size.

I really like these fenders, the hardware that comes with it is top notch, lasts a good 2 hours. In order to put them on when not installing the fenders on the B4 bike, a wire had to be formed around the front disc brake and they fitted the bike snugly and snugly. To cut the bars I pressed some gimbal between the bar and the fender and cut them off with a Dremel tool with a cut-off wheel so I didn't have to take them off the bike once they were in place and where I wanted them to be

I wish I could test how well they work, but I haven't been able to get the damn things right yet. Doesn't matter that having some sort of bike rack would help, it's on me. However, the instructions mention using a hacksaw to cut the posts. One of the bolts they gave me isn't long enough. The instructions are terrible and don't match the parts. Even the company's YouTube video of the installation is poor, showing only one ending. And the front fender is too high and cannot be lowered under it…

While fitting them to a bike is fairly easy (I've used them on Schwinn) and can take 15 minutes, it can take the next two hours to set them up properly. Part of my experience comes from using it on a bike with a front fork; Unless you use your own spacers, the parts provided will not hold the front fender off the tire. (I had to adjust the front fender height similar to the tire pressure). For the job they were designed for (to protect me and the bike from splashes), they do a good job; I just…

Bought for a 2017 Trek DS3 which is mainly used as a commuter bike. It took some effort to install the rear fender but once installed it looks great and works well. I found the installation video on YouTube very helpful. However, the front fender will not fit the Trek DS3 with the included hardware as the soldering posts on the front fork are on the back instead of the side. I contacted SKS Germany and a very nice guy named Blake emailed me the next business day and sent me the additional…

I have to admit it took hours to make. First off, the metal fender mounts with SS rod holes appeared to be made for a narrower fender - I spread them out a bit and aligned the lugs and they were fine. The instructions say to put the plastic sleeves on the rods before inserting them into the tabs - my rods were half an inch too long so I had to take everything apart and reassemble without the plastic sleeves to install the fitting properly, then I marked the poles for cutting; took everything…

First of all, do they work? Yes, they work! I mounted them on 42mm tires and the 53mm fenders fit my Specialized AWOL perfectly. All water and splashes are kept off the bike and me. I had just returned from a 90 mile tour of the wet Pacific Northwest Trail and my wife (without wings) was covered in mud. I was completely clean. We'll talk about that later. Installation, as others have reported, takes a lot of time and effort. If you're the kind of person who gets frustrated and gives up when you

I bought these fenders for winter riding and found the best price and fastest delivery here. They provide good coverage when driving on snowy and wet roads. I run 700 x 40c Maxxis Refuse tires and have opted for 47mm fenders so there is room for 650 bx 47 or even 650 bx 50 tires in the future. They are made of plastic and are very flexible, which will help and annoy you at different times. Unlike others, it didn't take too long to install, but it did take some creativity to get it working…
