Customer Reviews Great product, even if description is odd.. November 18, 2008 C. Roush
The product is very nice, as described, though it's black--this is mentioned in the text, but the photo is of the chromoplastic set. As with most bicycle parts, it took a little tinkering to get this fitted to my liking. It could use longer arms in the front for taller forks like mine. I ride a Trek 7100 converted for commuting (drops, saddle, tires, wheels have all been changed out), and these are a great addition to my 75 mile-per-week commute. Logos are fairly discreet (which I prefer), and the product seems very solid.
Great Fenders August 29, 2008 Paul E. (Williamsburg,VA USA) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Just got the 45mm black cascadias for my Giant Cypress hybrid with 700c, 38mm tires last night and installed them easily - they were just wide enough. I had to do some minor re-engineering with my rotory tool because I used a bolt at the chain stay bridge instead of a zip tie as suggested by the instructions. I simply cut the notch out to the end of the fender so it could slip over a pre-installed bolt. My bike had an existing threaded hole at the bridge to accept the bolt. Beside this, installation was still easy. The polycarbonate is strong but flexible and easy to work with. The stays are very sturdy and the smart hardware set-up allows for easy and quick fine tuning. Got up this morning and noticed the wet roads outside so I couldn't wait to try them - Wow! what a difference! Kept me and my bike clean and dry and they look great!

looks like metal but is actually plastic. black extensions are sort of ugly overall good quality
Great Fenders - 700c NOT 26" October 14, 2007 zip22 4 out of 5 found this review helpful
Despite the name, the planet bike cascadia hybrid fenders are 700c size (road bike), not 26" (mountain bike). Aside from the wrong name, the fenders are excellent. The mud flaps reach very low which is exactly what you want fenders to do.
