After doing some research on fenders, I still have a couple more questions. Anyone know if coverage is different on the SpeedEZ vs. the Hardcore? I saw a bike today with some SpeedEZ and it looked like they may have been altered. Both fenders started directly behind the brakes as if the coverage in front was chopped off. Can anyone comment on this?
Also, anyone know if one rattles more than the other?

Anyone think these suck completely and recommend another brand? SKS??

Thanks!

SpeedEZ are 80% ok. The backs of your legs are unprotected, so your feet will still get wet. They're better than nothing.

there are SpeedEz that are pretty much full coverage. ie. they extend down to the BB.

if you have enough clearance hardcores + p-clips is where it's at.

The hybrid/touring sized speedez are full coverage. I put some on a steamroller last night with just barely enough clearance.

I have the SKS Chromoplastics to replace my broke-ass ones from last year. They are silver, narrow, and the attachment hardware is Allen bolts, which is a winner with me. I love them so far.

I have those on my commuter. I'm not a huge fan, although they do the job. They were a total pain in the ass to install. Despite my best efforts, I ended up losing 3 or so of the nuts that secure the fender at the top. Next time I'll probably snag the planet bike ones.

My experience was the opposite. I didn't even have to take the rear wheel off to get the fender installed. And I just have to take the brake off to remove the front fender on nice days. Of course, I may just love it because my old fenders were the world's shattiest.

do the planet bike speedez narrow and the quick release sks raceblade rattle a lot compared to the bolt ons?

Bolt-ons rattle plenty but they stay put and therefore rub your tire less. For a conversion, get bolt-ons. For track ends get something easily removeable.

My bolt-ons are silent. If they are set up right, and not broken, they should be solid.

Anyone have those planet bike freddy clip ons? anyone not recommend them? I've never had fenders before, but I'm considering them finally.

I have the sks with the stay quick release things on the rear. The stay quick release is supposed to be a safety feature on the front that releases the guard if something gets sucked up between the tyre and guard.
Used on the rear with rear facing track ends means you can remove the wheel without unbolting the mudguard.
