The Curana fenders are very light, are designed to be easibly removable, and they were originally too delicate for my daily pounding.
My rear fender rattled around like crazy from the start and it drove me nuts. I siliconed it permanently into place against the seat tube and riveted a flexible plastic mudguard to the bottom edge, which improves the splash resistance and prevents the thin aluminum edge from cracking. That was a few years ago, and since these mods, the fenders have held up just fine.
In summary, I think they are cool fenders, but I recommend some pre-emptive modifications to toughen them up for your daily grinds.
