Nyc Tour Alloy Hammered Road Fender, Silver, 700cm

These fenders are well made and look nice, however, they are not for everyone. They require precise installation and additional hardware in order to make them fit and work properly. Please be aware of the following before purchasing:1. I purchased the 700c Road version. Because that was the only thing in stock. MAX TIRE SIZE: I would not exceed 700x28c. I am running 28's and judging by the looks after installation, they will not properly fit anything larger.2. These come with a basic hardware kit for assembling the fenders only. They DO NOT INCLUDE hardware for attaching them to your bike. You will likely need to purchase all or most of the following additional hardware:- Bolts for attaching the P-clips to the eyelets on your bike. I needed 4 of them, they were M5 water bottle cage style bolts. The rear were short M5 bolts, and the front needed to be significantly longer because I needed spacers behind the P-Clips in order to being them away from the ends of fork arms.- A long through-bolt, washers and lock nut for attaching the front fender to the fork crown.- A shorter through-bolt for attaching the rear fender to the brake bridge.- A through bolt or other means of attaching the rear fender to the chainstay bridge. My chainstay bridge does have a hole in it and the chainstay bridge is set back 2 inches from the fender, so I needed a P-Clamp and a rig something like the Velo Orange "Spring Thing" to attach the front of the fender to the frame so it doesn't rattle against the stays.- I also needed spacers to bring the P-clips off of the end off the fork arm a little.3. Besides a phillips head, metric wrenches, and metric allen wrenches, you will likely need bolt cutters, angle grinder with cutoff wheel, or a hack saw to cut down the fender support arms because they come longer than needed to acomodate a multitude of geometry variations, as well as pliers for crimping the rear fender bracket.If you are prepared to buy additional hardware and spend some time with the installation, or take them into a bike shop for installation, then they are great. Otherwise, you'll be frustrated.

1. When the fenders arrived I immediately was worried they might have gotten damaged. They are shipped in one of thise plastic mail bags. They are extremely lightweight and it wouldnt take much to bend them from the ends. They arrived and one of the ends was drastically bent. A little patience and a hard surface, and you will able to get it back into shape.2. There are NO INSTRUCTIONS! Fortunately we live in a time of #YouTube videos and the like. A quick search and you'll be all set. The small bag of nuts and fixing bolts is in a sealed bag undeneath the carboard hang tag. Do not throw these out.3. Everything you need (except tools) to assemble the fenders is in the bag. However you will need the items to afix it to your bicycle. In my case it was 2 different sized fine threaded allen head screws. Most fender eyelets are threaded, so no nuts are needed.4. Simple installation. Even without having watched the video i would have been able to figure it out. But i do have some experience around bicycles, which probably helped, but only marginally.Tools needed:Phillips screwdriver8mm, 10mm wrench or socketYou will need to take your front and rear brake aloose to secure the fender to the bolt.Havent gitten a chance to ride since the ground is covered in snow, but everything seems secure and the fenders look amazing! As good as those costing 2x as much. I like the fact that they are really light weight and offer full protection. Whike not necessarily, i am thinking about adding leather washers to protect my paint and reduce any possible vibration/noise. Will add pics and an update in 3-6 months.

Fenders came without the attachments struts missing. Worthless. Returning. Thanks for nothing!

My bike is a Motobecane from the 70’s made for a 27” 1” tire 5 speed. I bought from some guy on Craigslist who “replaced/forced” a set 700c 7 speed. I mention this because i was limited in spade when installing. You’ll have to buy some additional hardware 4x bolts and nuts. I used m8 bolts with the thinnest nuts possible, to avoid the chain rubbing on them. Make sure to check your clearance! You’ll probably have the saw the bolts like I did. Include in the hardware sent is a thin plate meant to wrap around the back fender and attach to your rear breaks. Unfortunately not instructions were in the box so I kept wondering what the hell it was until it finally make sense. You’ll have to bend yourself. If your thinking about installing a light to them then do that first. There’s no point in putting them on and then taking off. Installing them isn’t complicated but it is a pain. Make sure not to fully tighten the side clamps until it’s perfectly straight. You don’t need your tire being chewed off by your modifications. If you want to keep that shiny look you might also consider a clear coat, I prefer the oxidation look on aluminum. They are aluminum so they are easily bent and can cause tire rubbing; consider before purchasing. Do you have a kickstand or do you lean your tire against things, you will not be able after installing. Do you toss your bike in the trunk of your car, leaning on its side or do you have a bike rack? There nothing more frustrating then arriving to your destination ready to ride and then having to adjust your hardware. These look great but I probably wouldn’t install on my other bikes. Get a kickstand!

These needed a fair bit of work to fit on my bike. They did not fit my 27" tires, so I had to hammer and bend them out to fit. Then, I bent the ends of the rods so I could hook them onto a bolt on the frame by the tire axles. But these were cheap. They are actual metal and I am fine with the purchase, even with the extra work required, because they were cheaper than all the other ones. (and they have a good look to them)
