Hi John, I've used the Velo Orange aluminum fenders on three different bikes and find them to be great. Lightweight, easier to install than SKS. I have a pair of their 65mm fenders in the garage awaiting their new bike. I'll be running these with Compass Snoqualmie Pass as well. Like the other VO fenders, they seem well made, and these big ones have a clever cutout in the rear drive side so as not to interfere with the chain. I've not had trouble with them doing light trails, but if you're worried about front fender failure, (VO doesn't include a quick release) you can get a quick release from Portland Design Works and use it with the VO stays.
