Hey, this is Jeff at the Two Wheeler Dealer. Today I'm going to talk to you about how to
select the proper fenders for whatever style bike you ride. To start off you're going to
need to probably determine what tire size your bike uses. It should be labeled pretty
clearly on the sidewall. Typical sizes being a twenty-six inch and a seven hundred C. For
twenty-six inch bikes you have the option of clip on fenders, such as these. This particular
one is a front fender that will mount up, basically sticking off in front of the front
wheel. Mounting up into the steer tube and protecting back behind it. And it can be paired
with a rear clip on fender as well. This one will just mount around your seat tube and
basically cover back over the rear wheel. These are about twenty to twenty-five dollars
each. So for a full set, about forty-five or fifty dollars. The other option you'd have
with the twenty-six inch wheeled bike would be a full set of fenders. Which is going to
give you the most coverage and probably the, you know, best protection from you know water.
These ones aren't going to be so good for protecting you against mud, because the clearance
between the tire and the fender is much tighter. So if you are riding through very muddy conditions,
it may get jammed up between the fender and the tire. You might be best off with the clip
on style. But these run about forty-five dollars. Pretty comparable in price to the clip ons.
But if you're just riding in the water, these are going to give you the best protection.
For a seven hundred C bike, like a road bike, they make the same full fender sets. These
ones are just going to come in a narrower size to accommodate the narrower tire. Same
price, about forty-five to fifty dollars. They don't really make clip on ones for road
bikes. They do, but they don't offer very much coverage. And, you know, I definitely
recommend going with more of a full fender set, than a clip on on a road bike. That's
how to select proper fender size for whatever size bike you ride.
