Excellent grips. A little on the pricey side but still worth while. Very comfortable. bought them as I had problems with my hands going numb. Work very well. Even on a 150 mile ride.

It's just great for riding uphill while standing up. It relieves much if you are on the long run. I'm very happy with it's sturdiness and comfort, highly recommended.

I have a Dahon Curve SL which is a small 16" wheel folding bicyle. It's a great bike but I'm 6'0 feet tall and felt a bit cramped on the bike. I was considering trying to figure out a way to add bullhorn bars plus a stem for additional reach until someone told me about these new Ergon grips which looked like a real simple way of getting the reach, maybe some additional hand positions and still perhaps be able to fold the bike. Well, I've had them for about a month and I have to say they are fantastic and the bike folds as compactly as ever (I just adjust the grips a little before folding up bike). I feel like I'm riding a new bike - I'm now able to stretch out an additional 5 inches or so, additional hand positions, makes for very comfortable distance riding and now the big hills, near my home, in Japan, don't seem so daunting anymore. Very pleased.

My grandaughter was thrilled to get these skates for Christmas, very well constructed , looks like skates a pro would use. I looked over many web sites on the internet and these were the best for the money I had to spend I could find.

This was a great buy! The price is not the most expensive rollerblade, but the quality is great. The stability is wonderful. I used rollerskates before and was unsure if I would be able to use these but it was seemless. The ankle support is awesome and there is a click release on the side to put them on and take them off easily. The only thing I could do without is the break, I never use it anyway.

quick delivery time. these skates were not only very stylish and comfortable but also possessed a solid foundation to all components attached. the ankle stabilizers also seems to be of high caliber. the skates come with a tightening tool and instructions on care and maintenance. i would highly recommend this product.

I bought the 45mm fenders for my hybrid, which has 700x35mm tires. I've ridden that setup for about 6 months. The coverage has been absolutely excellent. The mudflaps extend quite low and really keep the bike clean and my feet dry. Fenders are almost always fussy to install. These were easier than most. I like that they came packaged with locknuts for every bolt; on past fenders I've had to go over every single bolt with Locktite. These fenders were very easy to adjust, and they stayed in adjustment with no excess rattling. The 45mm fenders say that they are for "hybrid/touring" but they did not make the transition to my new touring bike well. New bike (Surly LHT, 52cm) has 26"x1.5" tires. The fenders are just barely not wide enough; although the bike stayed reasonably clean, my feet really got soaked. The fender circumference is also a poor fit and makes an unpleasing visual line around the 26" tires. I've ordered the Cascadia ATB fenders to try because I was so pleased with how the 45mm fenders worked on my hybrid. Edited to add: The ATB fenders give much better rain coverage on my Surly. After going through some mud and light rain today my bike was clean and my feet dry. However, the fenders sit very far out from the wheel - almost an inch out. I could wish for a longer L bracket at the top of both the front and rear fenders, and a spacer at the chainstay bridge to decrease this excess amount of clearance and even further improve the rain protection.

Its been two days since the fenders arrived and I began trying to install them on my '04 Sirrus. I had previously used Planet Bike Hardcore Road Fender so I presumed these would be similar. Right out of the box I noticed they appeared quite slim and although they're recommended for tires up to 700x28 they're a close fit on my Armadillos 700x25. The 42m bolt supplied was a bit too short for my Specialized Sirrus fork so I would up using the old bolt that originally came with the Hardcore Fenders. The plastic clip that secures the rear fender to the brake bridge was a press fit on my old Hardcore fenders and held the the fender firmly in place. On the Cascadia the same bracket has a loose fit and will slide up and down the fender. More importantly these fenders lack the metal tab that hooks onto the chainstay connector and helps keep the bottom portion of the rear fender in place. Like others have mentioned, I also had a bolt in the chainstay connector so I cut a slit to slide the fender over the bolt. What I didn't anticipate is there's very little clearance with the front Nexave Derailleur. As a result the fender is pushed back and winds up rubbing against the rear tire. While this worked perfectly well with the old Hardcore fenders, (secured by previously mentioned clip) apparently it wasn't sufficient for the Cascadia. The rear fender immediately began to rub against my rear tire. Further reading on Bikeforums indicates some Sirrus owners have gotten around the front derailleur problem by upgrading from Nexave to Tiagara which is a bit more work that I envisioned when I decided to add fenders. Maybe I'l just cut them back a bit and bypass the whole derailleur area. So far the only good thing I can say is that Planet Bike provided some long bolts that allow me to mount the fenders in the same eyelets as my rear rack. Now if I can only get the fenders installed securely that should be a real plus.

These fenders are very solid and pretty easy to install. I had to tinker a bit in order to make them fit just right, but it wasn't that bad. These are the only fenders I have experience with and I would definitely buy them again.

First off, these appear to be durable and high quality fenders. However, if you don't have mounts on your bike for fenders (look for little tabs with a hole drilled through them on the frame near where the wheel connects and a hole drilled though the very bottom of the post your fork is on- right above the front wheel) they can be tricky and messy to put on, plan on using a bunch of zip-ties. I managed to mount them on my bike with zip-ties, but they didn't feel very sturdy and they rattled. I am sending them back and got clip on fenders instead (Topeak DeFender FX Bicycle Fender or Topeak DeFender M1 Mountain Bike Fender (Front) for the front wheel and SKS X-Tra Dry Rear Bicycle Fender (Black) for the rear wheel). if you don't have fender mounts you may want to consider this option even if the clip on fenders probably aren't quite as durable. If you do have mounts on your bike for fenders, these are probably a great option. One final bit of warning- you won't be able to roll your bike around on only the back wheel with full length fenders on, this seems pretty obvious if you look at fenders. Probably not a big deal for mort people but if you have to navigate your bike around tight garages or anything it can be an issue.

These fenders are high quality, light, and come with great mounting parts. I mounted them on an 80's era steel univega road bike converted to a single speed and 700c wheels and they fit perfectly.

I bought this Hybrid for myself a few weeks ago and I must say I'm very satisfied with my purchase. The box it came in (was rather large) had all of the parts separated and organized well. It only took me about 2 hours to put the whole thing together and some parts came pre-assembled. (tubing, half part of the handle bars, exc) This bike is very fast and gets me in and out of classes with time to spare. It's a bike, it does what it's supposed to. It is very sturdy and the brakes work well. It has a very nice smooth and laid back feel to it and has been reliable. The only thing I'd recommend adding is a rear bike rack for those rainy days to stop the water from drenching your back. (about 20-40 bucks for one) I added one and had a little bit of trouble putting it on; there's no place to screw it in under the seat so i had to screw in the rack securely with the screws on the brakes. it works well and is sturdy enough to hold about 40 lbs of books on it+ my laptop but just a heads up before you buy a rack.

This bike is what I wanted. It arrived before you said it would and in perfect shape. I am 100% pleased with the product, price, and shipping time. Hey!, Amazon- can you improve on that?! :)

I purchased my Schwinn Midmoor bicycle about 8 weeks ago and have put 450 miles on it. It arrived safely, and I slapped it together and brought it to a local bike shop for a safety check (which is cheaper than a tune up or assembly). Since then, I had a friend who is a bike mechanic tune up the shifters, which makes a big difference. I have removed the silly reflectors mounted on the front and rear spokes. I also removed the plastic front and rear sproket protectors (which make the bike look like a department store bicycle). To make it a real commuter bike, I added a rear rack, two water bottle cages, a pump, a bell, a mirror, front and rear lights, a bike computer, an underseat bike bag (in which I store a spare tube, a repair kit and a bike multi-tool) a small pannier bag for the cross bar, a new seat, and new pedals with toe clips and straps. I haven't added a chainguard or fenders. I have pants clips so will probably do without the chain guard. I live in Southern California and don't have to ride in the rain or snow, so I can also do without fenders. I am just under 6' tall and weigh 205 pounds. I am very happy with my bike.

I am very happy with the bike. Fairly simple to assemble provided you know at least something about bikes and have the correct tools. Open end wrench and allen wrenches basically. My only complaint is that the handlebars don't feel right no matter how I adjust them... width feels too small. Will be ordering bigger handle bars but for the money this item is well worth it!

I was interested in getting this bike for myself and a friend. To my surprise, there was only one size(?!?). I got it and it ended up being a little to big for me, so even when the seat is all the way down I can barely touch the pedals. I did have to take the bike to a bike shop for professional assembly, which was more expensive than I thought it would be, but it is working great. The only things I don't like about it are the weight, 31.2 lbs, and the front shock that bottoms out often. When this happens, the bike jolts up awkwardly. Oh, and the mechanic at the shop told me I would need special inner-tubes for the bike because the rims are a deep-V style, and I guess these can only be purchased at bicycle specialty stores. oh well. In ending, I am going to get a different bike for my friend that hopefully will not have the same issues.

They keep me dry while commuting, but they are not the most sturdy attachments. Mine have not stayed straight and the instructions say to use zip ties to attach it to the back tire. Just not quite what I expected. They do work however.

I bought a set of these for my commuter since they were cheap, expecting to get something that rattled and jiggled like no other before disintegrating. However, once I received them I was gladly proven wrong. Installation: Very easy and quick to install. I put them on a touring/commuting style frame with 700x35 tires. They were very easy to get aligned and attached. Appearance: These fenders look sharp and of quality. I've received many compliments on how good my bike looks. I only wish they sold a silver set at this price. Performance: It's been raining/snowing here for several weeks and these fenders have saved my clothing time and time again. The snow/ice will cake up inside of them, but a quick shake and it falls out. They haven't come loose at all, and several blocks of my commute are on brick roads which are very bumpy. Still no rattling. They also fit under my rear rack with plenty of clearance. Durability: While getting this bike down from it's rack I smacked the rear fender against the wall quite hard. The fender bounced right back to shape and was perfectly fine. I imagine that if you really hit something hard the mounting hardware might bend, but the plastic more than likely won't crack. Overall, you can't beat these fenders, especially for the price. I purchased a second pair for my trail bike, and will most likely purchase more for other bikes. The only drawback of these fenders is that they only come in 1 color, but I can live with that considering how good these are.

I have a Surly Cross Check and the fenders bolted right on with no problemo. They have nice adjustments for the support rods and a clip-on hanger to attach the top of the back fender.

These fenders are very good for my bike. They are the right length and the width is a little wider than my tires. They were easy to set up on the bike, the instructions while not very organized, were easy to follow. This has all the hardware to install and some tips if your bike doesn't have all the necessary mounting areas. I will see how these stand the test of time. The only problem I have had so far is the rear finder's adjustment bolt is stripped, I tighten the other one but this one is loose. This makes the back fender somewhat out of alignment with the wheel, but it isn't a major issue since I have a rack on the back. Note, this ships in a HUGE box, much much larger than these fenders. The box is about five feet long, by one foot wide and one foot tall, very large! UPDATE - Jan 20th - It's been 3 months since I have purchased these and they are still great! I have to tighten some of the adjustments every once in a while but that should be expected, especially with them being in the -5 degrees F, and then sit in the sun getting them up to about 50 degrees F. They are great in winter and I never have a problem getting wet on my road bike. If only I could put fenders like this on my Mountain bike.

I put these on my commuter bike, now that the rain has started they are keeping the mud off of me. Easy to install, I am planning on getting a pair for our second bike too.
