Many mountain and hybrid bikes have no fender eyelets. This set clamps on, and adjusts with buttons.
What the listing publishes
A fit for 24 to 29 inch wheels and tires from 1.5 to 2.5 inches, an 8 cm wide front blade and an 8.8 cm wide rear blade, UV-resistant soft material, a wrench, and two buttons on the rear fender for angle adjustment.
What short fenders do
They catch most of the spray from your front wheel and some of the stripe up your back. They do less for your feet than a full fender. Most of the benefit comes from the wide blade, and an 8 cm width covers a wide tire well.
What to check before you buy
Tighten the fittings after your first ride. Check the clearance over a bump on a full-suspension bike, because a fender that touches at full compression will crack quickly.
