These things are great! They block almost all the water and hardly get my shoes wet. That’s living up here in Seattle too! Highly recommended and easy to install.

Full Metal Fenders - 650 Beast 55mm

Love the artful touch on my bike. If it holds up in the weather, and doesn't tear up my bottle on the wing edge it will continue to make me happy.

The installation was straight forward. However, the rear fender took several hours to adjust to get a proper fit. The main problem was that the rear fender vertical stay needs to be 1/2" longer to reach the mounting holes on the frame of the bicycle. I installed the fenders on a 2021 TREK Verve II bicycle with 700c-45mm tires. After spending several hours re-adjusting the fender mounts I was only able to achieve getting the stay into 1/4" into the eyelet. The clearance between the fender an...

Lots of good things about these fenders:
Light, Durable, Easily modified ( e.g. drilled) and Good value.
My front fork has a tapped 5mm hole at the rear but no hole at the front. The mount doesn’t work at all as it’s intended to mount at the front of the fork.. However you can turn the metal tab around so it works with the rear hole. This causes the part of the supplied metal mounting tab intended to pass through the front fender “ grill” to face backwards under the fender. A you can then moun...

Great basket bag. High quality material and build. Seems to have all the best features of other similar bags that seem to lack one or another feature. Happy with purchase and shipped very quickly.

Nice, sleek fenders!
The rear fender is perfect if you have a rack. I drilled holes and zip tied it near the front and rear of the rack. Zip ties plus the seat tube clip and it is rock solid.
The front fender was another story. My Niner RLT only had a rear bolt on the fork. So like Stefan (2/29/21 review), I had to flip the metal mounting bracket around and use to short bolts to secure it to the bracket (You can see the nuts on the top of the fender in the photo). This was a minor pain an...

Super easy to install, and they look great. They're like the platonic ideal of a plastic bike fender. Love the clean look of the stays and the matte plastic.
The stay adjusters also make it really easy to get them aligned with your wheels.

Great fenders, you can absolutely fly through puddles and mud and protect yourself and your bike from crud!
Just wish they included some more hardware for the price. I needed the next size up metric bolts to attach to my frame and also would have been really happy to have the vertical attachment for the front fork included.

Very sturdy bottle cage but as other reviewers mentioned it’s a tight fit and I had to open the wings fit my camelback bottles. Otherwise, I just love them. They look super cool on my bike. I may have to rename my bike Jareth!

I love these fenders. They look amazing, are easy to install, and come with the hardware you need. My only gripe is the length of the front fender: I wish it was 10 cm longer in the front so it would extend as far forward as my rando rack.

Worked great for my REI Co-op Gen E1.1. I followed the advice in the product listing (purchased the suspension fork eyelet adapter mounts that PDW sells, and had the stock tires swapped out for Schwalbe Big Apple 20x2.15 inch tires) and the bike shop at my local REI was able to install them with no issues.

They work well, and are easy to replace. I am glad PDW sells them. If you have the FMFs, then buy a few to have on hand. They do tend to snap or break in cold weather, you can duct tape the fenders back temporarily. I hope they get them back in stock soon. I also like the silver ones, they look more snazzy, but maybe those are discontinued and they only sell the black ones now.

I have an ‘88 Rockhopper. I bought these fenders because they’re the only full metal, full coverage fenders available for a 26’’ tire in the size that I’m running. I run a 2’’ on the front and a 2.125’’ on the back so these fit the bill in terms of giving me proper clearance and total coverage of my tires. It was surprisingly hard to find proper fenders and I just kept coming back to these so I pulled the trigger.
Friends warned me against installing them myself but the included booklet made it...

First and foremost, this is a solid product — so good that I bought two for my two bikes. The construction feels premium and secure.
I’m giving it 4 stars only because I wish it had a thicker anti-slip liner covering the full inner surface. That would prevent direct metal contact with the handlebar and add extra friction for a tighter hold. My workaround was to apply anti-slip tape and an extra layer of rubber — works perfectly.
For reference, my setup is a Brompton C-Line with mid-height hand...

Attached to my tail rack with provided bolts. It's bright. No complaints so far. It does require a screwdriver to change the batteries, but I have done that once already with no trouble.

This a great, simple fender that’s very similar to other fenders of this type. If your looking for something that works without modification with a Manitou Mastodon EXT, this is not it. Because the Mastodon uses a reverse arch, the holes for the mounting straps are too far forward and the fender drags in the tire. You have to create your own holes further back on the fender for it not to drag. Once modified, it works fine.

This is a great product. Running tubes on my road bike, I get my share of flats. Ninja pump has got me back riding every time. Recently, during a hasty grab for the pump, I tore the rubber strap that holds it. The pump returned to the clip securely and made it home without the strap. Contacting, PDW, they sent me a new strap for free and threw in a rebuild kit for free! Awesome company that totally stands behind their excellent products!

First off, PDW answered my email question thoroughly and timely before I ordered, so that's awesome. UPS did their best to damage the fenders during shipping thanks to big rips/tears on both sides of the box, but the fenders arrived undamaged and all pieces accounted for.
The hardware sent with these fenders will probably work with 99% of the bikes out there but I did have to make two trips to the hardware store for some bolts and spacers (I didn't want to use zipties at the bottom of the rear...

It's so cute, and it holds my water-bottle nice and snug! Since it's just cut metal, it might end up scraping off paint though, so I would only use it with unpainted metal bottles or plastic bottles

Great fender for my 2023 Surly Ice Cream truck. Easy to put on and snap off for transport or when it's not needed. You can also easily bend it to put it in a bike bag or backpack. The Splatter color looks great on the blue ICT. I

Had a very old version of Lars Rover which did me very well for a long time (not sure exactly but reckon 10 years maybe more) and it finally gave up the ghost. Most of it still worked and I opened up and tested to find the USB mini b (yes that old) was bust. The PDW support team were ACE and PDW stood behind their warranty, providing me with a replacement. I loved my old light and I had a lot of fun with it as my handlebar front light for off-road night gravel trails. It had (and by all account...

Very nice design. High quality. All brass hardware, no plastic. Well thought out pocket layout, designed specifically for bike mechanics. Comfortable and looks great. The adjustable leather straps are thick and should last a long time. The fold-up with snaps function adds versatility. I look forward to this product breaking-in and lasting a lifetime.

One of the safety tabs on my PDW fenders broke after my wheel tried to eat my badly-attached pannier, saving me from a nasty fall. I bought this inexpensive replacement and it shipped fast and was super easy to install! Just unscrew the old one and screw this one in. Best of all it ships as a pair so I have an extra one in case another tab breaks in the future.

Light and sturdy. Big size for meaningful coverage. Rubber straps offer plenty of grip where other fenders slip and slide around on hook and loop straps. Good design, quality product.

Things l love about it:
- reflective / shiny!
- hooks are just right for the bilt in rack on my 'lecktric bike from the CO-OP from Seattle.
- kept my 12pack of diet cherry coke and bottle of rum* from falling off from my sunday shopping spree.
*Never drink an bike - drink at home, away from judgy people.

This is a great upgrade from "Mirrycle" I had on my bike. This mirror moves a lot more smoothly and I love the versatility of moving it either snug under my flat handlebars or extending it out past them. And they look so much better to boot with that splash of whimsy. Always love my PDW stuff.

I do not know why you stopped making the speed metal grips. I have had them on every single mountain bike I've owned since at least 2014. They are the perfect fit for my hands and they are comfortable. I wish you would reconsider.

So far, so good! Love the name. (Brantford, Ontario, Canada, just down the road from me, likes to claim Alexander Graham Bell as their own. And I'm a sucker for a good pun!) Love the sound. Love that it's black, but I would have bought it in brass if it was not available in black. Two issues, one really minor. When I first installed the bell it "dunked" rather than "dinged". I eventually had to disassemble the bell from the striker mechanism, put the mechanism in a vice and tap the "catch" for ...

This is a really nice pump with the quality and design you’d expect from PDW. I haven’t needed to use it yet on the road or trail yet 🤞but did give my front tire a few breaths of fresh air and it was rock solid. While it is a little more expensive than some similar offerings it seems like it will last a really long time. Really nice 100% recyclable packaging is noted and greatly appreciated.

Fits my Dual sport 2 very well. The reason it's 4 and not 5 is the front fender needed to have a small 90 degree stainless steel bracket to make it work. It would be nice to have the mounts that come with it have a 90 degree for different types of forks.

I was nervous about doing the install, because the instructions indicate that if you don't have time or patience, maybe have a bike shop do it - I have neither time nor patience, but tried it anyway. It honestly was a breeze. Took way less time and fidgeting than I expected. I did have to go to the local hardware and buy a couple longer screws to accommodate my rear rack and the fenders trying to use the same connection point, but I'd expected that and it was a simple fix. Look great, work great...

I've been using this light for literally over a decade and it still works perfectly!!! Ridden through all kinds of rain and snow, freezing temps and scorching hot, never had a single issue. Impressive! I use Pale Blue rechargeable batteries for it and keep a couple spares in my rack bag just in case. Love this light to pieces <3

I've tried a few mirrors over the years and have had varying levels of success with them but the PDW mirror wins for optical clarity and vibration dampening. It's big enough that it's easy to see the cars behind you but not so big that it's obstructive of my precious cockpit space. I would definitely recommend this mirror for anyone looking for a good drop bar compatible rearview.

I contacted PDW to order the roll top bag for the Takeout Basket. First off, the bag is beyond fantastic. Adds to the ease of my commute big time. But beyond the wonderful PFW product, their customer service is absolutely stellar. Mollie was so helpful with the whole process. In a world where the consumer is getting less and less, PDW goes way above and beyond. They have a new fan for life. If they have it, I’ll only buy it from them! Keep up the great work guys!
