from Freiburg, Germany Date Reviewed: November 11, 2007 Strengths: Couldn't figure out any strengths yet, because...read the weaknesses Weaknesses: I simply can't attach it properly to my frame. (Talking about the front one). As soon as I twist the screw in, so that the other piece "stretches its legs" to grip inside the frame, the bloody piece work itself out of the frame again. So, once the screw is tightened, the whole thing is not inside the frame anymore but I got it holding in my hand. Is my frame the problem here or is this mounting mechanism just a major piece of crap? I reckon!

from Pittsfield, MA Date Reviewed: September 28, 2004 Strengths: Works with Cannondale Headshock bikes using their adapter. Very good coverage for mud coming up from the bottom of the wheel. Weaknesses: Reduces tire clearance. Can not be used with a Cannondale Headshock and a 2.3" tire. Tire rubs on the fender. Can be used with a Cannondale and a 2.1" tire but sometimes rocks get stuck and hum along until they fall out - or sometimes - it's neccessary to actually stop and roll the wheel backwards to get a rock to fall out. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $20.00 Similar Products Used: THE Fender (on non-Cannondale bikes) SKS Mudmax Downtube Fender (on Cannondales) Bike Setup: Cannondale F700 - stock.

from London, England Date Reviewed: March 6, 2004 Strengths: Light weight, easy to install Weaknesses: Breaks to easily, the attachment mechanism is too weak. Once it becomes damaged then the fender falls off easily. If you are riding hard it will fall off and you don't notice it. Then it is lost. Don't forget to take it off if you put the bike on the car!! Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Cunning Stunts Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $20.00 Bike Setup: Marin, mix of LX, XT and XTR components.
