Portland Design WorksFull Metal 700c Fenders(Return to Product Page)

My city bike has full time fenders. I replaced my last set with the PDWs and I could not be happier. They look classy and well built. The hardware is minimal yet highly effective. And, while the built in buddy flap is helpful for the rider it is easily removed to make way for a proper buddy flap for group rides. If you care about your bike I highly reccommend these!

limited sizes for larger tires (700 X 47)

Nice fenders, fairly easy to put on. Good looking-by far-over the other ones I looked at.

I was able to put 25mm tires on with my frame.

I just installed these on my Trek Pilot which has the higher clearance Shimano road brake calipers. They are beautiful, and the flaps go down low enough that you will be able to ride the local fast ride without being relegated to the back (no rooster tail)

I have no front fender mounts and the little brackets will require removal of the skewer for wheel removal but it is all pretty straightforward and so beautiful compared to the old clamp on fender mounts that I had.

I love the single strut construction (easier to move your hands around when removing the wheel) and both fenders fit superbly.

These fenders are so far and away the best fenders available for a road bike that they really put everything else to shame. They install relatively easily, fit exceptionally well, and look great. They even have a buddy flap that is goes low enough that you don't have to fasten part of an old water bottle to the bottom of your rear fender.

The fenders are all metal and very rigid. The mounting system holds the fender in place very well. About the only possible negative is that the close fit allows pine needles and leaves to get caught between the tire and fender, but this isn't hard to deal with after a ride.
