Bluemels Fender Set for 700c Wheels, Silver (28-37mm Tire Width)

When selecting a fender, it is crucial to consider the wheel and tire size. The fender size is determined by these factors, so knowing your wheel size and tire width is essential. Road bikes and urban bikes typically have narrower 700c or 28" tires, while mountain bikes are usually 29" (29er), 27.5", or 26". Smaller wheels can be 20" or 24". As a general rule, the fender profile should be at least 5mm wider than the tire.

Bluemels fenders are bolt-on, meaning they are not easily or quickly removed once installed. This design provides more coverage and stability, as they are affixed to the frame with bolts. In contrast, quick-release fenders have a different setup.

It is important to ensure the fender profile width can fit through the frame. The fender must not be wider than the distance between the seat stays or fork legs. Proper fitment is crucial to avoid clearance issues.

Mounting Bluemels fenders requires specific hardware. Eyelets or frame/fork mounting clamps are needed for installation. If your bike lacks mounting eyelets, separate clamps can be purchased. The metal stays included with Bluemels fenders may need to be shortened using a hacksaw or bolt cutters to ensure a proper fit.

The installation process requires basic mechanical skills and tools, such as a 7mm and 8mm wrench, a 4mm Allen key, a measuring tape, and a hacksaw or bolt cutters if the stays need to be shortened. It typically takes around two hours to complete the installation.

Bluemels fenders feature a safety release system for the front fender, allowing the struts/stays to be easily uncoupled if debris gets caught between the tire and the fender. This feature helps to prevent damage to the fender or the bicycle.

Bluemels fenders are available for 20", 24", 26", and 700c/28"/29er wheel sizes. They are made using SKS Germany's "sandwich" technology, which combines ultra-fine strips of aluminum foil coated in plastic, making them lightweight and durable. The fenders come in a shiny black finish with black hardware and stays, and some sizes are also available in silver.

Additional adapters may be necessary to mount Bluemels fenders on bikes with Suntour or RockShox forks. Shims are included for use with disc brakes. The rear fender features a bottom bracket cutout for easy mounting, and mudflaps can be added to extend the fender coverage.

SKS Germany has been a leader in the bicycle industry for over 100 years, manufacturing high-quality cycling accessories, including pumps, fenders, bags, tools, and more. The company is committed to innovation and continues to improve its products to meet the needs of riders.
