I got mine a couple of days ago but I realized my MTB has no eyelets for fenders, so I'll have to get some extra clamps to make mounting points. But otherwise they look good.

FYI. They do work with 700c tires. I installed some last night on a bike with 700cx28 tires with no problems. I will try to take some photos tonight.

Tried putting the fenders onto the Diamondback last night. Looks like the rear is going to fit, but the front is really tight between the fork and 2.1" studded knobbies I have on there. Might have to clearance the fork and/or the fender a little...
In addition, the little bag of hardware had plenty of washers, but several of the bolts were much too short. Either they aren't very careful sorting that stuff, or I'm an idiot when it comes to fenders.

I think I need some help mounting these as well. I bought two sets and one of the sets has one 16mm or 17mm bolt while the other set does not. There isn't any locknut for that bolt, either. As they don't include instructions, I went to the Planet Bike website and am using their instructions for guidance. The 45mm bolt is for the front fork crown. The 30mm bolt is for the seatstay bridge. What is the 16mm/17mm bolt for? It doesn't appear to be the correct size for any mounting point. And how do I attach the rear fender to the chainstay bridge. Planet Bike uses zip ties which seems odd.

Hopefully, some guidance is all you'll need. I still haven't figured out what the 16/17mm bolt is for. I need to take a trip to the hardware store to get another bolt and nut for the chainstay bridge mount. And I'm going to have to find a suitable bracket of some kind in order for the front fender tab to reach the bolt hole on my suspension-corrected front fork. Thankfully it's an old bike and the travel on the first generation suspension forks wasn't that great.

I got mine installed over the weekend and rode em for the first time on today commute.
Install, parts were easy. Front installed pretty smoothly. Had to bend stays a bit to keep clearance.
Rear was more of a PITA. The bottom section where you bolt it onto the chainstay, this is where my kick stand is bolted onto and tehre is no room for the long bolt. I had to flip it so the end is twards my tire. Not optimal but enough clearance not to worry too much about it contacting tire, unless something catastrophic happens. The rest just took more tweaking of the stays. It seemed ok without too much play.
I then later looked at the planed bike manual. https://www.planetbike.com/files/Casc...structions.pdf They used the plastic part that held the two fenders together to secure the middle of the fender to the frame. So I took from that and did the same, I thought it was just for packaging and shipping.
Not bad for the price. I would suggest to others to look over the planet bike instructions since there were none with these.
