In November of 1996, Planet Bike was founded in Madison, Wisconsin. In many ways, Planet Bike began as a social experiment that dedicated itself to doing business in a different way. Instead of being just another company that develops and sells products with profit as its end goal, Planet Bike wanted to help bring about positive change for people, their communities, and the environment. Despite being a simple machine, the people at Planet Bike have always believed that the bicycle has great potential to help improve the world and the lives of the people in it. From the start, they have embraced an alternative corporate purpose which seeks to help get more people on bicycles by making communities friendlier places for the self-propelled. By donating 25% of company profits to causes that promote and facilitate bicycle usage, Planet Bike hopes to make an impact. Social experiments aside, Planet Bike was born from the heart of a cyclist with a goal of making innovative, high quality, and practical bicycle accessories. Simply put, they strive to design and develop the best bicycle products in the world. In the company's short ten year history, they have made important product innovations within the bicycle industry. Advancements include the 4-line computer which is now a standard in the industry and the world's first self-contained HID light. Not bad for a company that ten years ago started as a one man operation. Today, while still a small company, Planet Bike continues to evolve and improve their product line with the goal of always striving to build accessories that make it easier for people to ride their bikes. Since 1996, Planet Bike's financial support of the grassroots bicycle movement has totaled $500,000. By 2010, they have made a goal to donate $1 million to organizations that are dedicated to making America a friendlier place for cyclists.

 Great fenders, great price, August 9, 2010
By Have Raleigh, will travel (Chicago)
|
|
These are awesome fenders.
Yes, they are plastic and light. But it is not a big deal. One reviewer said they are flimsy -well duh! They are plastic and lightweight. If you want heavy steel fenders than go get yourself a set of 10lb steel fenders if you want to be able to lean your bike against the wall in such a manner that the fenders push against something solid and all the bike's weight is supported by the fender.
But if you want something light and strong that won't rust or dent then plastic is the way to go. The Fender stays are fairly strong and well-designed so that they can telescope to adjust to different tire and wheel sizes. The hardware is pretty well thought out and the fenders snapped onto my 30 year old MTB without so much as going to my junk box for extra fasteners. The M5 x 10mm screws were of pretty decent quality and better than what you get with many cheaper accessories. They have combo 8mm hex/Phillips heads and seem fairly well galvanized. Still, I'm swapping them out for stainless M5 x 10mm Button Socket Cap screws as soon as they arrive from fastener-express -a box of 20 costs just over $5 plus shipping. I bought a lifetime supply for all my bikes while I was combining the shipping. The adjustable rear fender mid-clamp is an engineering work of art and well designed to fit just about any bike as well as allow the fenders to nest in the eco-friendly packaging and be more secure in shipping while fit in a smaller box. Very green and smart!
Cons:
One thing I would suggest with any fenders is visibility. I put some 3M retro-reflective tape on mine to improve conspicuousness to the clueless cagers out on the road. I don't put much stock in cheesy bike reflectors and battery-powered electronics like blinky-lights can and do fail (although I do still believe in & use both -I want MOAR visibility when I'm on the mean streets after nightfall). My life is worth a few bucks in shiny tape in addition to stock reflectors and head/tail lights -und das blinkenlights. Planet Bike could & should incorporate color-matched retro-reflective tape on their fenders which would do so much more for their customer's safety than the few extra cents it would cost/unit.
These should also come with the mud flaps already installed. I guess the spandex mafia doesn't want the "ugly" flaps on their bikes or the added weight & wind resistance -but without the flaps I still got significant front tire splooge & spray on my crankest, chain, and frame near the lower case -as well as on my footsies. The mud flap is a necessary addition. I realize if the fender were longer it would be damaged by curbs and a flexible mud flap is necessary to fill the gap below where any fender wouldn't survive long. I just wish that Planet Bike (or the sellers on Amazon) would sell a version of these fenders with the flaps already installed. Maybe they do now -it's just a good idea.
The cons are not enough to drop this review down to 4 stars. For the price the value is just too high for anything less than 5 stars. But anything can use a little bit of improvement.

Excellent fenders, December 10, 2010
By Craig S. Prior
|
|
These are the most inexpensive fenders Planet Bike makes. And for your money they are completely functional and useful.
I've bought 2 sets. I put one on a Raleigh mountain bike. The second set I put on a black Surly LHT. They match the frame beautifully. In both instances the bikes had 26" tires. (Note: on the LHT I painted the back third of the rear fender white, similar to a European bike, to improve traffic visibility. Painting them is easily accomplished by using polycarbonate spray paint. Any over-spray can be easily removed by rubbing it with a little WD-40. So please be aware that even though these come in black, they can be painted to match any frame color).
The nice thing is they are solid, they function excellently in keeping the grit off the bike. They look good and they are tough.
Both fenders have single stays... so if you're into the "double stay" look of more expensive fenders these may not suit you. They also are only adjustable at the hub end. Each stay is formed as one continuous piece of wire that wraps around the fender through a hinge. This also is less functional than more expensive fenders that allow you to adjust stay length at either end. For me, this has presented NO issues.
I highly recommend these fenders. They appear they'll last for years to come. Put 'em on and forget about 'em. Believe me, I've had other fenders that required constant tinkering. I've NEVER had to readjust these.

 Good but not sturdy, October 4, 2009
By Ron (CA, USA)
|
|
It is a good fender, fits my comfort bike very well. The only unpleasant thing is the stay bar is not strong enough. Once I put the bike against wall, then the next day I found the rear fender's stays bent, now the rear fender cannot cover rear wheel totally. It is nearly impossible to recover it to original shape.

Good utility!, June 4, 2010
By Rainbow (SF Bay Area, Ca, USA)
|
|
I bought this more than a year ago, and it saved me many shirts (and me too so I didn't look like a skunk or had to eat mud). It is very sturdy, hard, and not brittle, certainly not some cheap plastics that you'd think or expect. The part that I'm not so happen is with the hook for fasting the middle portion of the rear fender. That WAS cheap plastic, and I had to use something makeshift once it became worn with vibration and abrasion.
And, I would prefer the fenders come with flexible mud guard/skirts. It didn't, and it was not too hard to add one using pieces cut from plastic soda bottles. You just have to drill a hole to fasten it.

These look great and fit very well on my wife's Trek Placid, but I did have to purchase some new bolts and nuts to fasten part of the fenders to the fork and to the frame, but it was easy.

Required equipment, April 3, 2010
By Paul D. Eberhardt
|
|
Unless you're one of the few riders that actually goes off the trail with your ATB, you are a fool for not having fenders on your bike. They keep you clean and dry and they preserve your chain/sprocket. Put aside your twisted sense of 'cool' and buy these fenders. You won't be afraid to ride when it's a bit wet out. You'll laugh at the car wash and those mysterious green puddles outside of restaurants in the morning. Bring it on!!! And while you're at it buy some street tires and donate the 'mudders' to your cool friends who like to pedal real hard on pavement.

Love Planet Bike!, April 19, 2009

Beautiful fenders at a good price. Planet Bike fenders are the most complete and best fitting for all bicycles. Had to shorten the stays on the front fender for proper fit, easily done. Look great!

no more wet backs!, November 16, 2010
By B. Khatri (San Francisco Bay Area)
|
|
I have these fenders hanging over my 26 x 1.95 tires on my bike. My bike didn't have holes for two of the screws for the rear fender. The fenders come with cable ties in case your bike is like this, but not enough if you're planning to attach cable ties to both the seat stay area of the rear fender and the seat tube area of the rear fender. The installation was easy (comes with instructions) and requires only a Phillips head screwdriver. It would be nice if these fenders came with extra cable ties for bikes that don't have holes in every spot for fenders. However, even with the cable ties, these fenders work wonders for keeping your back dry in the rain.

Great for my hardtail MTB, November 9, 2010
By T
|
|
These went on my Trek 3700 "hardtail" style mountain bike with very little effort. I've heard tales of woe from people struggling for hours to get their fenders mounted and finally giving it up to let a shop take care of it, and that wasn't my experience with these. It was less than half an hour after I flipped my bike upside down and put it on the table to when I was remounting the wheels for a test ride. Though I am mechanically inclined, at the time I installed these I'd never even greased a chain.
They keep all but the deepest puddles and mud from splashing up on my pants, and they're a great place to display ride stickers without stickying up my frame.

Excellent Fender Set, August 1, 2010
By Eugene
|
|
Fit right out of the box, needed no adjustment to fit on my old beach cruiser. Dig the material they're made of, it's lightweight yet not flimsy. The fenders feel very sturdy. They are in reality a very glossy black color, almost a metallic black. The pictures don't do them justice, they're gorgeous.

ATB fender set adjustable only one time, fits where others don't, June 1, 2010
By M. R. Smith (Central NC)
|
|
This Planet Bike ATB fender set is adjustable only one time if cut support rods, where the "Hardcore" version of this fender set from Planet Bike with stainless hardware may be adjusted back again. This design is simpler and fits electric bikes with common rear racks where the dropout mounting hole spacing makes some it difficult to fit around the stainless hardware.

Good Fender - But Missing Bolts and Zip Ties, September 24, 2011
By SkyWalker
|
|
There may not be enough bolts and plastic zip ties, so you may want to make a trip to a hardware store.
The plastic of this fender is very good and rigid. It does not appear cheap. You can adjust the stay
length to fit your wheel size.
There are five attach points for both fenders. Make sure your bike support all attach points otherwise
you may have to use plastic zip ties. I have retyped the exact instruction that came with this product
below. In my case, my mountain bike does not support attach point 2) and 3) so I had to use plastic zip
ties. If you have power drill and tab and die set, you can drill and thread your own thread hole to support
the missing attach point. Here is the instruction.
For Models: 7004, 7005, 7006, 7007, 7008
FENDERS INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL TIPS:
- Snip ends off zip ties for neater look
- Toe clips may touch front fender during slow speed turns on some bikes.
- Check nuts and bolts periodically
1) Attach Point: Front Fender to Front Brake Bridge
Attach fender to fork using nut and 47 mm (1.85") bolt. Place bolt through hole in fork crown, then through
hole in built-in tab on top of front fender. Tighten with lock nut while keeping fender centered.
2) Attach Point: Front Fender Stays to Front Fork.
Bolt stays to outside of threaded dropout eyelets (lower eyelet if you have two per side) using 14mm (0.55")
bolts and washers. Slide adjustable stays to conform fender to cuvature of tire without bubbing.
For HARDCORE Models (7006, 7007, 7008): Adjust stainless steel stays using eyelet bolts/nuts.
Caution: DO NOT overtighten
For BASIC Models (7004, 7005): Adjust stays at dropout eyelets via adjustable slide eyeltes.
3) Attach Point: Back Fender to Back Brake Bridge.
Attach to brake bridge using plastic clip (snap on) and 27mm (1.06") bolt and lock nut.
If bridge has no hole or there is no bridge, use 2 zip ties going through channels in plastic clip then tighten
around each seat stay.
PRECAUTION: Adjust overall position of fender before firmly tightening zip ties.
4) Attach Point: Front End of Back Fender to Chain Stay Bridge.
Attach front end of fender to chain stay bridge using preinstalled metal clip. If clip doesn't attach securely,
bend it out of the way and use a zip tie going through hole in bottom of fender below clip and around the bridge.
* If no chainstay bridge is present, use a zip tie to attach metal clip to seat tube.
5) Attach Point: Back Fender Stays to Back Wheel Support.
Bolt stays to outside of dropout eyelets using 14mm (0.55") bolts and washers (use lower eyelets if there are 2,
use longer bolts (not included) if fender has 2 stays per side).
PRECAUTION: Make sure attachment bolt does not interfere with cassett/chain.
* To adjust rear fender height, see step #2.

Does what it's supposed to., September 19, 2011
By Teller
|

I have a 29 inch Specialized Crosstrails Sport. I ride on street only and have put 500+ miles on bike with the fenders attached. The fenders fit just fine. No problems. I'm very happy with them.
4 stars because I almost never give 5 to anything.

Nice fenders, August 3, 2011
By M. Smith (Dayton, OH)
|
|
I was excited to get some fenders on my bike and these did not let me down. They came with the necessary hardware and were relatively easy to install. As long as you are comfortable taking the wheel off, you should have no problems.
The fenders fit great, and i have had no problems.

Great but Pain to install, July 16, 2011
By Vick Oktavian (Florida)
|
|
I have never ever rated any products with a 4 star rating. But hey better to be honest than to lie to yourself. This fender set is good, but the installation process made me hot! meaning I was so angry that I blew off steam! First of all the nuts and bolts or whatever you call it, they didn't give enough, so I had to buy extra at Wall mart to complete it. I can't believe it. Disappointed because I had to waste time and gas money to go there, and waste another money to spend on the bolts. I only needed one or two and now I'm stuck with 50 bolts because they don't sell it individually, had to buy the package. Other than that the finished product look great! I'm riding a diamond back outlook mt. bike. If only they included extra bolts in there that will make people's life easier.

Awesome, May 21, 2011
By casualrider80246
|
|
I have an older (80's)Peugot Urban Express (26" wheels). The only thing I had to do was shorten the stays using bolt cutters. I was able to mount the fenders underneath my reflectors and did not have to go to the hardware store for anything. The rear fender doesn't match the curve of my rear wheel (No Biggie). I've bumped and banged them quite a bit (in and out of my apartment, elevator, secure doors, ect..) no problems. Light weight, excellent quality, nice price. Wet roads and paths, no problem. A must for a commuter bike.

 NOT LONG ENOUGH!, March 25, 2011
By toots (santa barbara, ca)
|
|
I bike commute to work very often. Planet bike is a good brand but I found these fenders to be very inadequate. The main problem is that the front bike fender is NOT LONG ENOUGH! I still got mud and road debris all over my clothes and bike. Unfortunately, I did not ride in the rain until I had these on for a while so now I can't return them. I would highly recommend you skip this planet bike product and purchase something else.
Maybe the folks giving this product 5 stars don't care about getting muddy. But this is the reason I got fenders in the first place. Work clothes + Mud = Bad day.

GREAT PRODUCT, July 10, 2010
By Dennis
|

A great product along with great service makes for a winning combination. Fenders came with all the needed hardware and installation was a breeze... 30 minutes, tops. My tires are 700 x 38 and these fenders were the perfect fit on my very old repainted Bianchi Cross Terrain bicycle.

Excellent for Trek 800 Sport, June 16, 2010
By R. Gladwin (Chicago, USA)
|
|
I installed these fenders on my 2002 Trek 800 Sport, and they fit perfectly. Fitting the front fender was easy, but fitting the rear fender took ~ 15 min. I decided to install these fenders after I had to replace both my front and rear breaks (chunks of sticky mud destroyed by previous breaks!). I ride 10 miles / week, and in all weather. I think this was my $25 well spent.

This item is reliable and mounted on my electric bike without significant hastles, and it performs better than expected. Customer service (planet bike) deserves an extra 5-stars with problem solving and prompt resolution of a minor problem regarding a missing packaged item. This is a great bike parts company to do business with.

Great fenders, but not unbreakable., January 28, 2012
By C. Zeman (NorCal)
|
|
I'm on my second set of these fenders. My first rear fender broke in half on a 110 degree day back in July. My tires are 26x2.3 and they fit snug under these fenders. They are light, quick-release, and do not rattle audibly. Just don't believe Planet Bike when they say these are unbreakable. They are great fenders, though.

Worlds finest 22.00 fender set, November 20, 2011
By Vefer
|
|
These are VERY glossy black, they're gorgeous! 10 minutes to install on a Trek 4300, only needed 2 different small screws-but that depends on your brand of bike.(a small bag of screws and cable ties are included which should work for most people) Very well made, they clear the brakes, they don't rattle or get in the way. You can ride through a puddle without getting a stripe on your back. They are also very light and very flexible.

Planet bike never seems to let me down, these are about the widest fenders I've seen i've got the mounted on a MTB with 2.2" tires that I wasn't sure I could find fenders to fit around. Good buy!

Good fit, September 26, 2011

We purchased these fenders without being certain they'd fit an older model mountain bike. They fit perfectly and are doing their job by keeping road splash off the rider. No problems installing.

tight fit on 26 x 1.95, might not fit on your bike., April 5, 2012
By Omaga Sohe (The Ocean)

I got some big 26 x 1.95 tires and man these are just big enough to fit. Like a nose hair on either side big enough. it's designed to attach to a round bar in the kick stand area, i don't have that bar on my bike, but i have one up near the rear brakes, just as good for me. the little support clips suck, the rear and fronts have come out while hitting bumps in the road, and you don't look cool carring your front fender.

 Poor Design, March 26, 2012
By ColorBlindGuy

I bought these for my road bike because I use it to commute to work here in Seattle. My biggest problem with these fenders is the way they attach to the bike. I bought the 700cc set, but for some reason the brackets were over an inch too long, which required me to cut them down. Beyond that, the brackets are flat. The reason that's a problem is because of how narrow road bike tires are, you end up having to bend the brackets because the mounting point at the fender in narrower than the mounting point at the frame. But wait, there's more! Even the way the bracket attaches to the fender is overly complicated. For some reason, they have you tread the bracket though some holes and anchor it with a a small nut and bolt. It's possible that I was sent the wrong product, but after looking over the German worded packaging, I saw no notation of what size I was sent, only the sizes that this model of fender comes in. Overall, I am very disappointed in these fenders and will buying a different set from my local bike shop so that I can see how overly complicated the process of attaching them to a bike will be.

Really Nice Fenders, March 5, 2012
By stephen

This is my third fender to be bought and when comparing the other two this is the best, the other fenders were a little short and still got my clothes and bag wet & muddy. I have been looking for a fender like this for a while now it does exactly what it is supposed to do keep my back clean. Quality is nice also, it feels strong and solid. The only problem i have with it is the accessories for installation like screw sizes and knots. I think my mountain bike holes for the rear fender screw is a little too big I had to improvise and use some thick screws i had laying around. But after I was finish setting it up everything was good to go, anybody who has had problems with wet roads or muddy water squirting up from the back messing up their clothes should get one of these it is worth it.

Basic Fenders, They do the job!, February 17, 2012
By orangecycle

These fenders are really basic and probably perfect for a cruiser or hunky road bike. My bike is a mountain conversion road bike with chunky road tires and cantilever brakes. The front fender mount is not adjustable and so the fenders ended up set a little far out from my tire interfering with my brake cables and not offering the best splash shield. In short, These fenders were great after a couple of alterations with a hack saw by a very bike savvy person. In the future I will invest in something a little more custom and adjustable. I also have a small frame with 26 in. wheels. A larger bike may be more accommodating.
