    This is my second one of these fenders. I have a full suspension so getting this adjusted to where the tire won't hit takes a little work but its a great fender.

    Comments about Planet Bike Flipper Rear Fender - 80mm:

    It works. Beware that you have to really tighten down the strap to prevent significant side-to-side movement while riding. I thought about putting the rough side of velcro around my seatpost so that the fabric strap has something to grab onto to keep it in place. If course the looseness means that when you do crash, the flipper will move rather than breaking, which might be a good thing.

    Comments about Planet Bike Flipper Rear Fender - 80mm:

    I commute 6 miles each way to work and back home in the rain. These work fairly well and are much better than having no fenders at all. However, the clamp strap must be very tight otherwise the fender will swing out from the tire and provide you no protection. As long as it's tight it works great. Also, I think these should be designed a couple inches longer. I have 700s and these fenders are slightly too short to provide adequate protection. I still get a little dirt on my back. Will be buying full coverage rims soon instead. These would probably be great on 26 inch tires.

      Comments about Planet Bike Flipper Rear Fender - 80mm:

      I bought this fender for a 4-mile commute each way in D.C. It lasted for several months, but then the adjustment teeth that hold the fender in place failed and it was done for. This after no impacts or stressful use whatsoever. The fender also tends to sag and move out of place unless you get the strap around the post to the absolute perfect tightness (trial and error).

      I haven't tried any other fenders yet, but there must be a better product out there than this.

        Used these on two of my bikes for 2 years with no problems. I did find one on the bike trail that fell off another bike so now I have 3 of them. I do not know if that last sentence is a plus of minus for this product or a reflection on the user not putting it on tight enough.
