Has anyone bought the fenders from Rad that they started selling a couple of months ago for the Radrover? The front one seems so small that it's hard to believe that it would do any good.
I did buy the fenders and they are too small, as is, for very good effect. I went to Tap Plastics and bought some material and modified mine to extend the fenders and they work great. I found that it was better to attach the rear fender to the rack using zip ties rather than rely on the clamp.Has anyone bought the fenders from Rad that they started selling a couple of months ago for the Radrover?

Yes, the 2016 have the water cage bosses under the frame rail... The 2015 RadRovers don't.@Mike in Spokane Those will be to mount the fender directly to the water bottle mount holes. Some bikes have a mount under the lower frame rail.

Those have a nice look and seem like they'll keep bike and rider dry in downpours. I'd be interested to hear how well that head tube attachment works.I ordered from eBay, $25, Planet Bike big Buck Fat Front Fender:

I also order and installed from Amazon, $17, the Zefal DT Armor MTB Frame Guard in black. I just wanted some protection for the wires hanging under the front crank from debris and water. Since the battery is in the way to use the supplied straps, I just drilled two holes in the plastic frame guard (used my bottle cage as a guide) and screwed it into the already existing down tube bottle case holes:
