Dang! Just when I get a set of Planet Bike fenders mounted on my Tour Easy.

BTW: As long as you don't mind the mismatched curve, a 700C fender works fine on the front with a
451 wheel. The back sticks down a bunch (it scrapes when going over speed bumps), but it does keep
the water off of the feet.

I can add my testimonial for Planet Bike fenders. Put a set on my V-Rex cause my LBS and RANS
couldn't supply a fender kit when I purchased my bike last year. I got the MTB set and had to do a
little bit of trimming to fit the fork and chain stays. I just forced the front fender to fit the
20" diameter of the front wheel with the adjustable fender struts and it looks and functions well.

I bought these fenders after my RANS Stratus rear fender broke. The PB fenders were inexpensive,
easy to install, and have worked well for about two months. I prefer PB's plain black finish
compared to RANS' faux-fiberglass pattern, and I really like the mudflaps (although it can easily
catch leaves under the front fender). paul
