I like the way the look. They complete the bike.

I agree.....Haven't tried them yet.weather permitting

Are those the Radrover fenders? I have the other plastic fenders offered by RR and really didn't like them. I'm assuming the fenders would still fit if you have a rear rack?

I also have the Bar Mitts for winter riding. The combo of the Bar Mitts with my spring riding gloves work better than my heavy duty winter riding gloves alone. They fit perfectly inside my panniers on my topeak rack bag when not needed.

Did you have issues with how the rear fender was positioned? my fender was slightly skewed to the left I looked at from the rear - I had to move the right arm up from the bottom bash guard screw to the top one to balance it

Snow builds up and clogs.

I installed mine yesterday. They fit fine under the RadRover rack. Haven't tried them yet in the snow, but planning to this weekend. the front fender comes down pretty low, obnly about 5 inches or so from the ground. I might have to trim it shorter for trail riding.

My rear fender was skewed to the right, but then I realized I forgot to add the silver spacer on the left side. I added that and it ended up positioning the fender perfectly.

I was able to test mine out earlier this week in a few inches of slush and snow, and they work ridiculously well. Normally the underside of the bottom bracket and derailleur would be caked in snow, but the whole bike was pretty much spotless by the time I got home.

Tried my new full fenders today for a ride on a snow packed trail. Worked great, no complaints!

Here's mine - on a white radrover!

I thought I'd share an interesting article about fenders and the spray pattern of the tires.

I came up to the same solution on my own from years of bike riding (with the front mud flap hanging close to the ground.) Spray pattern shown in red lines.

January thaw in Minnesota (36 degrees the past week)...glad to have full cover fenders! Makes riding through deep puddles worry free.

Your Radrover is looking good Mdh01. Nice

I may need to get full fenders. More so when roaming the ocean water

Are the Big O fenders the same as the rad power ones? It sounds like the hardware kit is included making the optional kit superfluous?
Big O are available now.

I'm in Minnesota and bought a set. Ridiculous pricing and I'd have to cobble up a fit, so it's the small plastic guards for some protection.

Mark where did you find the attachments or self made. Never occurred to me. Brilliant.
