I have been using Planet Bike Cascadia fenders for several years, mainly on my bikes used for commuting. The Cascadias are easy to install and adjust, don't rub my tires and are quiet. The built-in mudflaps are a nice feature and make the fenders much more effective. PB also has excellent customer service and replaced free-of-charge one of my fenders that failed prematurely.

I use these on my cyclocross bike which is my do-all workhorse. It's my only source of transportation and I live in rural Oregon, 14 miles from the closest grocery store, so there is no putting up with second rate equipment. Because I also race, my fenders come off and go back on very frequently so ease of installation, including getting a nice fit, is as important as the perceived durability and overall quality of these fenders. They fit nice and secure. No rattling vibrations or any change in feel to the bikes ride in any way other than the fact that I stay nice and dry. To already have a buddy flap is a bonus to the already very complete coverage. I'm incredibly pleased with every aspect of these fenders so far.

I purchased these fenders to use on my 29er hardtail for winter commuting. I wanted this style rather than the traditional MTB fenders to better catch the water and road muck. Be warned the front fender is difficult to mount on a bike with a front shock as most of them are not designed to take this type of fender. With some improvising I was able to make it work.

These fenders have turned me from a cyclist that cringes when the road is anywhere close to wet, to a rider that isn't afraid to hit a puddle or two or ride through a downpour! My main reason for not riding in wet conditions was the dirty road spray, more so than getting wet. These things also keep your drivetrain clean and your feet dry. In addition, if you live in an area with lots of other cyclists, the rear fender and mudguard provides ample coverage to keep spray off your fellow cyclists.
The instructions are kind of bad, and they will take time to dial in if you are getting the smallest road fenders. I put these on my 700x25c tires and chose the 35mm fenders. They took several remounts, but do not rub any longer and are great!

Good fenders, and easy to install. However, bottom section (rubber mud flaps) not straight or inline with fenders. In other words bent or crooked. Somewhat difficult to align properly.

Review by oldmanrolling
I ride all 4 seasons, and you may have heard it rains on occasion here in Washington. I wanted a good quality fender for my new Lynskey Helix Ti road bike. With some modification (road bikes are not built with fender mounts) These work very well, keeping me drier, and more of the road git out of the running gears.
I would (and have) recommended these to a friend.

I got a turbo s for commute, but the 700c x45mm tier is hard to find a fender. This set have good coverage and easy to setup, not much noise, reasonable priced.

Good coverage for my 32c touring tires. No flashy planet bike logos. Fairly adjustable. Securing the rear fender to the bottom of the frame involves a zip tie... My Surly has a spot for a screw, but an additonal screw of appropriate length was not provided. The zip tie works for right now, but I am keeping my eyes peeled for an extra bike screw to replace it.

I have these fenders on my every day commuter mountain bike. The best fenders yet.

These fenders were slightly bent out of the package so that the wheel would rub no matter how they were adjusted. Cheaply made and difficult to install. Would not recommend.
Review by eddiemack
What can I say. Fenders. They keep snot off your bike and gear when it rains. These installed easily and work fine. So,... if you need fenders get some! I use these on my touring bike... but wouldn,t dream of putting them on a race bike for obvious reasons.

Probably the best full fenders out there, easy to install and the best wheel coverage with the super low flaps. Excellent price-value balance. Definately I recommend the product.
Review by BikeBoyHouston
I use these for a daily 27 miles of commuting and weather can be unpredictable. These fenders have far exceeded my expectations. With the price of 10-speed chains, these fenders allow much less dirt and moisture to be thrown at the drivetrain from the front tire. If you are looking for full coverage fenders, paying a little extra for the Cascadia is worth it. The stainless hardware also looks nice. The struts are of sufficient length to bend around a disc brake versus using the standoff.

Like the saying You get what you pay for, these might not be the least expensive, but I think they offer the best VALUE. easy to install, sturdy, and good looking. Hard to beat.
Review by Bernie Blaireau
Nice fenders, though somewhat expensive. Greater coverage than most, and come with long dropout eyelet bolts and spacers for mounting on disk brake-equipped bikes-the extra long bolts and spacers enable the fender struts to clear the brake calipers. Would be better if they had break-away strut mounts on the front for safety, but these are about the best mainstream fender sets for really wet conditions. The back is long enough to keep those drafting you clean, unlike 99% of other fenders on the market, and the front fender extends lower than most, also.
