They come with special extra - long hangers for better fit on 650b/27.5' frames and forks, and the double rear stays add stability and prevent rattling.

Using these fenders is easy. First, check if your bike has eyelets. If it does, you can use the all - stainless - steel hardware provided to mount the fenders. Make sure to adjust the special extra - long hangers to fit your 650b/27.5' frame and forks properly. As you ride, the fenders will protect you from mud and debris. If something gets stuck between the fender and the tire, the safety release tabs will keep your wheels turning. When it comes to maintenance, you can clean the anodized aluminum fenders with a mild soap and water solution. Regularly check the hardware for tightness and replace it if needed. Also, refer to the PDW fit guide if you're ever unsure about the width that fits your bike.
