Having broken off my front fender early in the winter, I managed weeks without it. But now that spring has brought rain and muddy conditions, my pants are begging for some relief. So I decided to test four different types of fenders to determine two things:
1. Do you need fenders for urban cycling and bike commuting.
2. What type are the best?
Here are the fenders I tested (but this is more about the style of fender than these specific models. Make sure to shop around):
1. Axiom Roadrunners: www.axiomgear.com/products/fe...
2. Blackburn Splashboard Combo: amzn.to/3dnc1v7
3. Fox Racing Mud Guard: foxracing.ca/fork-mud-guard/2...
4. A dirty old water bottle: • 30 SMART WAYS TO RECYC...
2:32 - Full urban-style fenders
5:19 - Clamp-on mudguards
7:12 - Affordable mudguards and the classic used water-bottle trick
9:31 - The clear winner!
