Tire clearance decides which fender fits, not the wheel size alone · review
A full-coverage fender set for 700c wheels with polycarbonate blades, stainless steel stays and 40 mm mudflaps, for frames with eyelets.
Our conclusion Proper fenders for a bike that rides in all weather.
Fenders are the difference between arriving dry and arriving with a stripe up your back. Full-length blades with stays are what keep that spray off you for good.
All-weather polycarbonate blades, 40 mm mudflaps, stainless steel stays, coated steel hardware pre-installed, release tabs on the front fender and a statement that eyelets are required. Size is 700c by 45 mm.
A stick caught in a front fender can lock the wheel. The release tab lets the stay pop free instead. It is a small part, and a good reason to pick a fender designed with it.
Look for threaded eyelets near your dropouts and on your fork. Measure your tire width: a 45 mm blade does not mean a 45 mm tire. Planet Bike’s recycled set in the same width states a 35 mm tire for complete coverage. Allow room for mud, too.

Yes. The listing says so directly. If your frame has none, look at the RBRL clip-on set on this shelf.
The blades are 45 mm wide. Allow clearance: the sister Planet Bike set states a 35 mm tire for full coverage on a 45 mm blade.
