Planet Bike Fenders

[Wolverbob]

I just installed some of the recumbent Planet Bike recumbent-specific fenders on my new (used) Ryan
Vanguard. What a pleasant surprise to have everything fit with no problem. And the fenders are cheap
too (around $25 a pair).

In the past I had paid some pretty high bucks for some fenders that were supposed to be made
especially for that model of recumbent. As it would turn out the fenders were a pain to install and
not really worth the amount the manufacturer was charging.

Where did you get your fenders?

I just installed some Planet fenders on my DF bike and they too were
an excellent design. Almost looking forward to the next rainy ride!

I installed Planet Bike fenders on my wife's Phantom (16-inch front wheel) and on my LWB Bentech.
The little mud flaps are especially effective in the rain. "Pat O'Malley" <[email protected]> wrote in

I bought mine at www.bikeman.com, but as soon as I placed the order I found out that my local
recumbent dealer just started to carry them too. From Bikeman, they cost $9 for the fron 20" and $16
for the rear 26". It took 7 days for them to arrive.
