    Other reviewers say these are fiddly to install and adjust but I found them simplicity itself. Huge amount of adjustment on both guards, hug the wheel and stay put once adjusted, and are barely noticeable once on. Easy to pop off and on again in variety of weathers. Apparently they're brittle, so take care when adjusting, but otherwise these are just the ticket for keeping dry without making your road bike look chunky and overdressed.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Few options out there, but not straightforward, especially on carbon frames
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 July 2015
    Verified Purchase
    I have a super road bike just purchased, Giant Defy Advanced 1 with carbon frame and discs and 700x25C wheels.

    I don't wear a matching helmet or lycra and neither do I care to get a wet muddy streak up my back when I go out in the rain. And oh yes, sacrilege, I cycle in the wet!

    So no shame in fitting mudguards and these seemed to be the best option.

    The rear blade fitted easily and works a treat, the front one is a different proposition. Whether you have caliper or disk brakes, these are not meant to go through the front wheel stays, which are narrow anyway on a carbon road bike, as normal fixed mudguards but the problem I found was that the distance between the front wheel and the downtube at its closest left very little room for the mudguard to "float" between them.

    After much adjusting, and bending of the metal stays, it just about sits right almost touching the front wheel stay though I occasionally catch it with my foot when doing a slow tight turn and then there is gentle rubbing against the tyre until I re--adjust it, so keep cycling straight.

    The fastening is effective, the easily fitted rear one definitely stays in place over rough road as does the front if I don't touch it.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Came bent, and supports too thick to fit front wheel under frame.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 October 2015
    Verified Purchase
    I may just had bad luck but mine came bent. More exactly the front one had been bent and straightened out leaving marks on the edges and a guard that wasn't straight. I noticed of course after I opened it up and then rolled with it. Turned it up side down and made a new hole for the ending thingy. It sort of worked.

    Problem is there isn't enough space between the frame and front wheel (trek 1.7) and as these have quite thick supports, there is very little room so it ends up either hitting the frame or the wheel.

    In the end I've stopped using the front one at all and only using the back one when it rains. Oh well.

    5.0 out of 5 stars simply great mudguards
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 October 2015

    If you have an aero bike these are the mudguards you need .Easy to fit though you may need to bend the framework for best fit as each bikes geometry varies but nothing technical. Follow the instructions and you cant go wrong
    I recommend you secure using the rubber bands & cable ties supplied which prevent frame slip
    Can be removed within seconds by simply releasing the rubber bands / cutting the cable ties.

    1.0 out of 5 stars misleading and disappointing.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 October 2014

    Advert states they are race blades so assumed they would fit a race bike. They do not come with aero adapters and therefore the front mudguard didn't fit.. In order to get the rear to fit in a position that that it didn't rub the tyre it bulged the guard in the middle. Absolute rubbish and I do not recommend them for a felt f95 with aero blade forks

    good quality, light and fairly discrete against a balck tyre.

    rear guard very quick and easy to fit and works perfectly.

    Front guard is sitting in the garage as the mounts are at the wrong angle for my forks (I have a Speacilized Allez). You could bend the metal mounts to the correct angle but I'm confident I would break the guard as due to its lighweight design it feels like it would snap easily.

    If both had fitted to my bike easily it would definitely have been 5 stars. Still four stars as the rear guard is the one i really wanted.

    4.0 out of 5 stars a good choice of fenders
    Reviewed in the United States on 29 November 2017
    Verified Purchase
    I bought these because normal fenders don't fit under the brake calipers on my road bike. I ordered the silver colored ones, and they look great. Overall, I'd have to say that I am very pleased with these fenders. They are good quality and seem pretty robust. The only reason I give these fenders 4 stars instead of 5 is that when they came in, the ends were a little twisted, presumably from shipping or storage. It wasn't too much of a problem, though. All I did was turn one of the burners on the stove up to high and held each fender where the bent part would get (somewhat) hot, a couple of inches above the burner. This seemed to "reset" the internal stresses that had built up in the plastic, and from there it was just a matter of molding them into their proper shape with my hands while they were still warm. A warning, though, to anyone who thinks they can just throw them on and go: you may have to adjust the metal bits that hold the fender to the frame. The instructions actually say to bend them with your hand until they line up correctly with the tires, so don't be upset if you do end up having to bend them a little to get things to not rub. It took me about an hour to install these fenders.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Perfecto para bici de carretera, fixie, urbana...
    Reviewed in Spain on 7 December 2014

    Necesitaba unos guardabarros para mi bici de carretera (cubiertas 700x28C), estos son perfectos porque se quitan y ponen muy facilmente (una bici de carretera pierde, estéticamente hablando, con cualquier guardabarro). Son muy ajustables, ya que los enganches al plastico del guardabarro se pueden deslizar ambos, para adaptarse a la curva de la rueda. Quizá la única pega es que haya que hacer un agujerito en el guardabarro para cada enganche (x4) para que, una vez ajustado, no se deslice con las vibraciones.

    Pour l'instant c'est parfait, le montage est facile et la notice est suffisante. Une fois le réglage fait, on peut bloquer les guides métalliques par des vis mais je préfère tester en l'état sur mon vélotaf pour voir à l'usage si c'est ok. Il me reste à tester l'efficacité de la protection sur route mouillée ... la couverture des roues est partielle mais ça devrait être mieux que mon "ass-saver" que j'ai perdu en route .... :-(

    5.0 out of 5 stars The best road bike fenders out there!
    Reviewed in the United States on 19 February 2016
    Verified Purchase
    I bought these to replace a set of CRUD RoadRacer MK2 fenders that exploded on me while descending a very steep hill. I had problems with the CRUD fenders from day 1 due to their narrow shape and lack of clearance between my brake calipers and tires (and I run 23s!). Although the Raceblades don't have full coverage, and only cover the rear portion of the wheels, they do offer a decent amount of protection from spray. I do wish they included another segment of fender for between the seatstays and chainstays, possibly attaching to the seat tube. These fenders were extremely easy to install, and came with not only more than the needed amount of straps, but also adapters for the aero forks on my race bike. Although the 'carbon' pattern was not actually carbon fiber but plastic, they were still stiff enough to not wobble and hit my wheels. I ride year round in the rainy Pacific North West and these help keep my a little drier for my commute to work.

    Die breiten Enden finde ich potthäßlich und würde sie im Leben nicht an mein Bike machen. Die Schutzbleche selbst sind super.
    Montage ist kinderleicht, aber einfacher zu zweit:

    Blech....äähh....Plastik rinne :)) .... dranhalten und mit den mitgelieferten Gummi Lochbändern mit ordentlich Zug fixieren.
    DIese sind in ausreichender Anzahl dabei, so dass man gut 20x tauschen kann, wenn die alten fatzen oder porös geworden sein sollten. Die mitgelieferten Kabelbinder brauchte es bei mir nicht; die Schutzbleche halten auch so sehr gut.
    Die ebenfalls mitgelieferten "Adapter" ermöglichen die Befestigung mit 4 Gummis je Blech; allerdings waren bei mir nur 2 dieser Adapter dabei. Habe sie aber bis dato eh noch nicht in Gebrauch, also egal.
    Regenschutzwirkung: Völlig in Ordnung; reicht meiner Meinung nach vollkommen aus.
    Zur Optik: soll ja Geschmacksache sein, aber ich finde die Schutzbleche einfach schlicht und schön.
    Generell: Es klappert nix, die typische Sollbruchestelle, bei der das Schutzblech hinten an der Bremse befestigt wird, ist hier gar nicht vorhanden und ich bin gespannt, wie sich das Teil in einem Jahr noch schlägt....
