from Toronto, Canada Date Reviewed: June 24, 2007 Strengths: Easily goes on and off the seatpost, and stays on once attached. Blocks most 'stuff' thrown up by your rear tire. Weaknesses: If you think you've tightened the bolt holding it at an angled position, you're probably wrong. I thought I had the bolt tight, but after a few minutes of riding, the guard flopped onto my rear tire and ground up some spots. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Waterfront Trail Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $15.00 Purchased At: Mountain Equipment Co-op Similar Products Used: None Bike Setup: Trek 3900 with Shockboard on front and X3 (Xtra Dry) on back.

from Camp Humphreys, South Korea Date Reviewed: June 15, 2004 Strengths: Simple yet effective, the plastic is tough and maleable, so it won't break easy, it will bend on impact. Very easy to setup. Weaknesses: Easy to remove too, so people with sticky fingers might feel compeled to pull it right out your bike when it's parked in public. I remedied this by putting two thick zip ties around the fender clamp, so that if someone wants to steal it they will have to get busy with a knife or cutters to go through two zip ties. When the rainy season is over here in Korea, I can cut the zip ties myself and stash it away... The fake carbon fiber version is fugly, so buy the simple matte black one. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $20.00 Purchased At: Pro Cyclery, North Las Vegas, NV Similar Products Used: Cheap Korean made Lespo fenders, T.H.E. Frame fender. Bike Setup: 2004 Gary Fisher Tarpon, Truvativ crank and rings, Crank Bros. Mallet C Pedals, Easton 80mm 0deg stem, Kore handlebar, Kalin bar ends, Shimano hydraulic front disc brakes, Shimano deore front hub on Bontrager rims with Bontrager tires.

from Perth, WA, Australia Date Reviewed: February 7, 2004 Strengths: - Thank god for sh*t that works - Light (relatively, weight-weenies need not apply) - Cheap - "Unbreakable" - bloody easy to install Weaknesses: - cost more than the front fender (SKS Shockboard, by just a touch, A$10) - carbon-look version looks hell sh*t, like almost every other componant made to look like carbon fibre and is not carbon fibre. (get the black plastic one) Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $19.00 Purchased At: A$39 at HiWay Cycles Similar Products Used: - mud and water on saddle, arse and crouch

from Espoo Date Reviewed: October 17, 2003 Strengths: Price, reliability, easy on and off. I have used it on my MTBs and once also on my road bike. No real assembly problems nor any problems during the use. Stops most of mud from rear wheel Weaknesses: It doesn't stop all the mud and dirt in very extreme conditions but I probably wouldn't want to such a system anyway (it would be too heavy). And some mud on a mountain biker looks just right :) Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 6 months Purchased At: Scavezzon Bicilette Similar Products Used: Zefal, some other Bike Setup: Several
