Premium Fender Set for 24 Wheels (1.6-2.1 Tire Width)

When selecting a fender, it is crucial to consider the wheel size and tire width. The fender size is determined by these factors, so it is essential to know the specifics of your bicycle. The wheel size can typically be found on the tire wall, with road bikes and urban bikes having narrower "700c" or "28-inch" tires, while mountain bikes are often 29-inch (29er), 27.5-inch, or 26-inch. Smaller wheels, such as those found on BMX or folding bikes, are usually 20-inch or 24-inch.

Additionally, the fender profile needs to be at least 5mm wider than the tire width. The tire width can also be found on the tire wall. SKS Germany fender profiles are named according to their width, such as the B55 being 55mm wide.

It is important to note that Bluemels fenders are bolt-on, meaning they are not easily or quickly removable once installed. This design offers more coverage and stability, as the fenders can be longer and are affixed to the frame with bolts. In contrast, quick-release fenders have a completely different setup.

When selecting a fender, the profile width must be able to fit through the frame's seat stays and fork legs. While a wider fender may seem preferable for better spray coverage, it must not be wider than the available space in the frame.

Mounting Bluemels fenders requires the use of eyelets or frame/fork mounting clamps, which can be purchased separately if your bike does not have the necessary mounting points. The metal stays that are part of the Bluemels fender setup may need to be shortened for a proper fit, which can be done with a hacksaw or bolt cutters.

The installation process for Bluemels fenders typically takes around two hours and requires basic mechanical experience. All necessary hardware is included, but you will need a 7mm and 8mm wrench, as well as a 4mm Allen key. If the stays need to be shortened, you will also need a measuring tape and a hacksaw or bolt cutters.

Bluemels fenders feature a safety release system for the front fender, allowing the struts/stays to be easily uncoupled if branches or other debris become caught between the tire and the fender.

Bluemels fender sets are available for 20-inch, 24-inch, 26-inch, and 700c/28-inch/29er wheel sizes. These lightweight and durable fenders are made in Germany using SKS's "sandwich" technology, which combines ultra-fine strips of aluminum foil coated in plastic. The fenders come in shiny black or silver, and some additional adapters may be necessary for mounting on Suntour or RockShox forks.

It is essential to choose the correct fender set based on your wheel size, tire width, and frame measurements to ensure a proper fit. Shims are included for use with disc brakes, and mudflaps can be added to extend the fender profile coverage.
