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 canโ€ฆ

Fast installation, strong but flexible wings. Suitable for mountain bike 27.5.

Easy to install. I modified the rig to work with a 27.5 full suspension mountain bike. Installing the fenders literally took less than 10 minutes, including using zip ties to modify the rear fender to the frame mount and an extra zip tie to add support through the trunk. Please see photos of how I installed these fenders on a full suspension mountain bike. The front fender seemed to have enough material for it to fit snugly (it was a little tight due to the construction of the bike itself)โ€ฆ

Pros
  • Optional U-Kit available for more permanent mounting
Cons
  • Can't remember but there was something

Great commuter bike fenders in the rain and a must have tip for installation

I have never written a review but felt the need for this product. I live in a rainy climate and these fenders have been on the bike for 3 weeks now. This is a nice but old rigid mountain bike that I use for commuting every day. These wings work great. There is some spray coming out of the front fender at the back which gets the shoes wet, but I don't think that can be avoided in heavy rain. They are light enough to add to a commuter bike. The fenders come with a variety of nuts, bolts, washersโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Rear end mounts to 25-35mm diameter frame tubes
Cons
  • Miscellaneous Miscellaneous

Anything is possible with the right tool

Access to the machine hall is the right tool in this case. But first, let me be clear that I'm not going to berate these wings for the complicated installation process. They are very well made (in Germany, unlike many bike accessories these days) and SKS deserves credit for trying to take a one-size-fits-all approach when the wide range of uses makes that almost impossible. One thing is for sure though, I was optimistic that these modern fenders would work on a 35 year old rigid frame tandemโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Fast click/release function
Cons
  • Almost everything in order
