Key considerations
- Check for eyelets at dropouts and crown; otherwise buy clamp-style
- Fender width must exceed tire width
- Suspension fork clearance
- Alloy is sturdier than plastic
Pros
- Full coverage
- Many sets include tail-light mount
- Reasonable price
Considerations
- Installation is fiddly
- Universal fit is approximate
- Rattles if not tensioned
Compatibility notes
- 26-inch wheels with tires up to about 4 inches; mounting depends on frame eyelets and fork design
