Nice. Is that the bike you brought on the ride in August? Don't
remember those bars.
Oh, and rain? In San Diego? Tell me it ain't so!

Yep, that's the one. That's why they call 'em an All-Rounder :-)
I probably don't need them mounted as it only rains for a day or so now and
then, but hey, it keeps the dust down, too.
I change bars out every four to six months on whim. In fact, if all goes
according to plan I'll pick up

Well... I received the Planet Bike Cascadia 29er fenders and upon opening
the package and inspecting them, there are no safety quick release tabs on
either front or rear fender. In fact, nothing in the instructions refers to
safety releases at all. I positioned the rear one on my Bombadil to see

Very nice setups. Pretty convincing argument as well. What is that saddlebag
you have on the Bleriot?

They do, but unless they have re-designed them -- and quite possibly they
have -- they are, as mine are, absurdly short. That actually works out well
on the Monocog with its very high bb, but they would leave

I just put my mudguards/wheelbrows back on last weekend when it was
actually raining! I ride trails a lot with fenders on. These are dirt
roads/fire roads/forest roads mainly, not singletrack and not with a lot of
undergrowth to worry about. Gonna' ride some of them this Sunday with the

I hit the trails regularly on my Bleriot and an old RockCombo. Both
are shod with Berthouds...the Bleriot doesn't have a ton of clearance
so I keep to pretty clear trails. The RockCombo has oversized 700c
fenders and long mudflaps over 26 wheels so I have quite a bit of

There's also the length issue. Most metal fenders wrap lower behind the front
wheel which is good for coverage but bad for clearance over trail obstacles.
With shorter plastic fenders, you can extend them with a flexible mud flap that
won't get caught on roots, rocks or logs. (the holy
Soma makes EuroTrip fenders that are 60 mm wide. What's nice about the
Somas is that the stays are designed to pull away from the mount

I have a set of the road versions on my single

Are you sure that you are writing about the Planet Bike Cascadia
fenders here. Other models of PB fenders have what I might consider
excessively short front fenders, but not the Cascadias:

I think for offroad you'd want plastic fenders like SKS.They sell

And then some. They are pretty big fenders.

That can get annoying real fast.

The potential noise doesn't bother me, but the potential accident does.
However, led by your suggestions, I just found out that Planet Bike makes a
set of fenders for 29er moutnain bikes that will cover up to a 2.3 tire, and
these fit the prescription perfectly. I'll be ordering a set of those.
Have PB fenders on one bike. And wife uses them on her steel steed.
Really good protection from mud and rocks. And the long mud flap
seems to work better than most.
Beware, though, the fenders do have the Planet BIke name etched into
the plastic. Not overly visible, but there. Covered mine
I'll paint it black, like the song says... the PB logo, I mean... :-D
I don't know if having the logos visible will bother me, but if it does I'll
do something about them.

While I haven't tried Extremes, there's absolutely no reason not to
run 2.0 Marathon XR's on or off road on a Bombadil. I've used them
touring and on rugged, fast single track. I'm a pretty aggressive
