Planet Bike Cascadia 700c x 45mm Bike Fenders - Lightweight Durable Bicycle Mudguards for Road & Hybrid Bikes - Perfect for Commuting & Wet Weather Cycling

These fenders work great on my 2017 Trek Verve 3 with Schwalbe Marathon Cross 700x38c tires. These tires are not the OEM tires which are 700x45c. Fairly easy to install because it is mostly preinstaled already. Great coverage. I ride on a road to a trail. I used one of the provided small bolts to attach the front fender to the fork crown from the back. I got too much resistance when I used a long bolt that goes through the entire fork crown. Attaching the front fender to the back of the fork crown also gives an additional two inches of coverage at the bottom which helps keep debris off the drivetrain. The bottom of the front fender is slightly below the level of the bottom bracket on my bike. I don't have to wash the bike and clean the chain after every ride anymore even though I am going through mud. No problem with clearance from rocks, etc. This is to replace the Planet Bike Hybrid Hardcore fenders which works a whole lot better than no fender at all, but the front fender did not extend far down enough so I was still cleaning quite often. The other option was to get the Cascadia mudflaps and put them on the Hybrid Hardcore fenders. I put the Hybrid Hardcore fenders on my old bike instead. I would get another set of Cascadias for my wife's bike, but she does not want any fenders at all, nor does she ride through the wet or mud. Great customer service from Planet Bike, by the way.
