I put the plug and play fenders on my sequoia and ended up removing them. the front fender "plug" attachment bar is right at foot level and has a minuscule amount of clearance between attachment bar and shoe toe. I kept breaking the plastic clamp that hold attachment bar to fender. It is a shame Specialized put such little thought into the fender design. Fenders made for each bike doesn't seem like too much to ask.
