The fenders are Planet Bike Clip-Ons, the rear worked well, but the front only provided minimal protection. The racks are Tubus Cargo & Tara which are the best and worth the premium $$$. I don't have the Tricross anymore, although it served me well. My tours include back-country a good bit now, so I switched to a more rugged touring setup. Plus I now favor a more upright style...but the Tricross was snappy and fun riding touring bike. Keep the gear weight down and you'll be good.
