Buying Race Bike Fenders – Mud and Dirt Are No Match

Race bike fenders ensure that you can ride worry-free even on wet and dirty roads. They block splashing water and dirt without compromising your speed or comfort. Perfect for cyclists who want to keep training in every season. At Hollandbikeshop, you will find a wide range and fast delivery of fenders for every race bike.
 

Why Do You Need Race Bike Fenders?

Race bike fenders are lightweight and narrow fenders that fit perfectly with the sleek frame of a racing bike. They protect against mud, water, and dirt from the road. Especially on wet asphalt or in the autumn, they are indispensable. They prevent wet clothing, a dirty bike, and provide more comfort during long rides. Fenders also extend the lifespan of your bike by keeping dirt away from your chain, bottom bracket, and brakes.
 

Different Types of Race Bike Fenders

There are various models of fenders for racing bikes:
•    Clip-on Fenders: Easy to mount and removable. Ideal if you only need protection in bad weather.
•    Fixed Fenders: Mounted with brackets or screws. Sturdier and suitable for intensive use.
•    Rear Fenders: Protect your back from splashing water.
•    Complete Set: Front and rear fender together for maximum coverage.

In terms of material, there are fenders made of plastic, aluminum, or carbon. Plastic is lightweight and affordable. Aluminum is sturdier and more durable. Carbon is ultra-light and suitable for those who count every gram. Also, pay attention to the width. Fenders should match the narrow racing tires of 23 to 32 mm. Some models are specifically designed for bikes without mounting points. These are secured with rubber bands or a click system.
 

What to Consider When Buying Race Bike Fenders?

•    Tire Width: Choose fenders that fit your tire size.
•    Mounting: Not all racing bikes have mounting options. Look for clip-on systems if your frame doesn't have eyelets.
•    Material: Plastic is light and flexible. Aluminum is more robust. Carbon is light én strong but more expensive.
•    Length: Longer fenders provide more protection, even for cyclists behind you.
•    Compatibility: Check if the fender fits your brake type (rim brake or disc brake).
•    Maintenance: Rinse fenders regularly. This prevents dirt from accumulating and damaging parts.
•    Durability: Choose fenders with sturdy mounting and UV-resistant material for a longer lifespan.
