We didn't put one of the rear metal brackets on the fender. Had to get screws from the store as our Priority bike and a through screw, not a regular screw. Otherwise I loved the packaging and it went on very easily. Word of warning, that front fender is very long and can get in the way of stairs. But man these protect you and your bike from water and mud like nobody's business. This is our second set. The first is the metal variation that I've been using for a few years. A large ladder landed on my bike and broke a small insert bracket that you can purchase as a part for very little. Love these and will never buy any other brand.
I've been using these Third Eye Bar End mirrors for many years. They are simple to install, Very Clear to See what's approaching from behind you, and easily adjustable. I'm a big fan. The only reason I don't give them all 5 stars is because the mirror is made of glass and easily broken if you hit something or drop your bike. At times, I have replaced the 3" mirror when it was shattered (these are available from crafts suppliers pretty cheap, but it's a bit of a pain, to scrape the broken mirror pieces out and if you use the wrong adhesive, it starts to bleed thru the mirror) , so buy a couple of these just in case until they make the mirror less breakable :)
These fenders a light, easy to install, and work as advertised. As a bonus, they match my bike colors, but that was not consideration for purchase. Have been using them for about 6 months now, and they have remained solid and in place, without getting in the way. My only complaint would be the price, but on the flip side the minimal material means they are light, and as indicated earlier, they function very well. If I needed another pair, would not hesitate to purchase these again.
My 2018 Giant Defy has no rim brake mount between the seat stays. In order to attach the rear fender mounting tab I fabricated a bridge and fastened it to the frame using the built-in threaded inserts there. Another simple adaptation was to reshape the SS fender braces slightly to avoid interference with frame bits and fasteners at the dropouts. Otherwise installation was straightforward. Quality of materials is excellent and the final fit is very snug. The fenders work well. After several 30+ mile rides on sloppy wet, leaf and pine needle-strewn roads (it is Fall in the PNW) the bike has been surprisingly clean as were my shoes, socks, pants, etc. The only downside? Climbing up a grade over heavy drifts of wet pine needles, the needles collected between the front fender and the tire causing so much drag I thought I had a flat. Couldn't pedal against it, had to stop. Rotating the wheel backwards disgorged a fist-size wad of needles jamming me to a stop! Otherwise it's been smooth sailing. I'd buy them again.
