I have VO Zeppelin aluminum fenders on one of my bikes. Good fenders.

So issues were simple and I was dumb - the real show-stopper was the front fender and parts to mount to the fork at the crown. Not all bikes require additional components, this bike did, and I didn't have any spares around the house.

Other minor issues included figuring out deflating the rear tire to mount it with the fender, this bike has a horizontal drop out and there isn't enough room to mount the tire fully inflated. This is less of an issue with the VO fenders since this issue would have come up with any fender on this bike. Here's a pic of the bike with fenders mounted, damn good looking (if I can say so myself).

VO fenders can be installed at home, you need a good tool kit, may need some extra parts and not be as dumb as me. If you buy from the LBS, ask for so additional input before bring them home, make sure you have what you will need. Our shop was super nice and helpful (Calhoun Cycle in Mpls).

Lastly, I'm able to install other fenders (Planet Bike) without any issue. So my skills are totally lacking, so the VO are more challenging to mount than Planet Bike.

I must admit that the price did give me pause but then I found them for $90 during a one day sale. Still expensive but acceptable. The fenders are sturdy, provide excellent coverage, and I can't stress enough how good they look. http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=411253

My LBS uses Sunlite fenders. Anyone have any experience with Sunlite fenders? I am planning on having them installed on my Trek Shift 3.
Thanks

I'm running Planet Bike ATB fenders on my hybrid and couldn't be happier with them. I cheated though I'm running 26" fenders on 700 X 32's. Had to do a little modifying where the rear mounts to the cross tube between the chain stays to get a good fender line and to clear my FD but I blame that on the bike's geometry not the fenders. If you'll be riding in heavy wet snow you'll probably want more clearance between the tires and fenders but this one doesn't get ridden in snow, just rain. The snow and ice bike has PB Cascadias with studded tires.
