I've never been able to afford fenders for my bike before. Finally installed a set recently (SKS Chromoplastics), and today was the first serious rainy day I've commuted since. Normally I'll be soggy and striped by the end, but today I was only a little damp and COMPLETELY CLEAN. The price seemed high upfront, but they're worth every penny even after only one ride.
Good to hear. My LBS has had my fenders on back order for a few weeks. UGH. I'd go elsewhere if I didn't have a gift card to use and since I don't need anything else from the LBS... I wait.
Pics?
