Comments about Planet Bike Speed EZ Fender - 35mm:

Rode it 2 miles to work in NYC after a rain. Did a good job at blocking the random water on the street and preventing me from getting dirty. When I tried to adjust one of the straps the next day (because it was touching my tire), the part that rests against the bike (the black prongs on the fender) broke off - it is rubber. So I had to return it. Otherwise I liked that it was easy to install and did a decent job with coverage. If I commuted a farther distance or wanted to it regularly in the rain, I would get full length fenders with a mudguard. In fact, after this experience, that's what I just ordered from REI.

Comments about Planet Bike Speed EZ Fender - 35mm:

This was the second set of these I bought and I should have learned the first time. I bought the first set 3 years ago for my touring bike and the mounting hole on the rear fender to the seat post snapped right off when assemblying. Whenever I had to remove the front or rear wheel, the fenders would move and it was a constant hassle to get them readjusted again to keep from rubbing the tire. Finally one broke in two in Laos and I threw the whole set away. Then last year, I decided to try them again, only with a larger size fender. These were no better. I was constantly having difficulty getting the fenders to fit and keep from rubbing the tires, especially again, whenever I'd remove a wheel. The fenders bend easily as well so that complicated things because one side was always closer to the tire than the other. Just got back from a 4 week tour up through Yellowstone and had continual problems with those fenders, so when I got home a few days ago, I took them back to REI for refund. This the last product I buy from Planet Bike. They guarantee the fenders only because they know they're junk. I wouldn't recommend anyone buying these fenders because you will definitely have problems.

Comments about Planet Bike Speed EZ Fender - 35mm:

I purchased these to go on a bike with inadequate clearance for full fenders. I did not expect that they would provide the level of protection of full fenders, but I did expect them to 1) keep the spray off my back and 2) provide some protection for my feet from front wheel spray. These fenders failed on both counts.

After riding a few miles on a very wet road, I found my back and the top of my rack trunk all covered with spray. The front fender is not long enough to keep spray off of feet. They provided a little protection, but I think they need to be a little longer in both front and back to be worth purchasing. I'd previously had good success with the similar SKS race blades and will probably try them instead.

They were pretty easy to install. The clearance and alignment of the front fender was good out of the box although I did have to cut the top struts shorter as they were catching on a derailleur cable. The back fender required quite a bit of fiddling to get right. I did not have any issues with them slipping or moving while in use, but find them unacceptable because they just don't do the job.

Comments about Planet Bike Speed EZ Fender - 35mm:

Depending upon your frame's geometry, this install could be a breeze, or the annoyance all of us are looking for when we are eager to go ride our bikes.

After finally getting everything situated (aprox 20-30 min of adjustments an repositioning) they performed decently well out on the wet roads. They're not magic - they can't prevent falling rain from getting your shoes/legs wet - they just prevent your tires from kicking up even more.

But, when the rain ended and I was going to take them of to clean up my bike... SNAP. One of the clips that the rubber straps grips onto broke off.

These are headed back to REI. Looks like I'll try another option.

Comments about Planet Bike Speed EZ Fender - 35mm:

I bought these fenders because they were a reasonable price and I just needed some simple fenders for commuting. These things are far from easy to fit. I find them extremely difficult to keep from rubbing on the wheels. When I do find the perfect fit, they eventually start to slip out of place with frequent riding and start rubbing on the wheel again. They also seem pretty flimsy, but haven't broken on me yet.

Comments about Planet Bike Speed EZ Fender - 35mm:

If used as intended these are perfect. Which means occasional use when it rains. If you plan to leave these on or ride constantly in wet weather take the time to install the bolt on kind. I've had a pair for a few years and they work great. FYI these would not work for group riding as coverage is limited and are not robust enough for a flap.

Comments about Planet Bike Speed EZ Fender - 35mm:

The fenders themselves are fine, but the straps for attaching the fenders just don't last. Mine broke after a year, and I store my bike in a garage (I imagine they would have broken faster if it had been stored outdoors). I have been using zip-ties as a temporary measure, but I'm going to bite the bullet and buy new fenders that mount properly.

If you are looking for fenders that you can take on and off easily, these may fit the bill. But if you plan on leaving them on, get something else.

I ride a little over 100 miles a week and have been using these fenders on my commuter bike for the past 3 months. The fenders are not tough or durable and seem to come lose easily.

Comments about Planet Bike Speed EZ Fender - 35mm:

I have these fenders attached to the bicycle I commute on. They are lightweight and easy to attach, but they are just attached by these rubber straps. When the straps loosen, the fenders can rub the tires. Because it rains all the time here, if I were to make the decision over again, I would buy sturdier, heavier fenders.
