snap on fenders for road bikes?

[sli4]

I'm looking to get some snap on fenders for my road bike (700x23c tires). nothing fancy as I'd only use them for light rain so my back/bag/butt don't get splattered from the road. It seems everywhere I look the reviews are split and not much help.
trying to stay under the $20 mark and have been looking at these

planet bike clip on fenders for hybrid and road bikes - Planet Bike Clip-On Fenders for Hybrid and Road Bicycles: Fenders | Free Shipping at L.L.Bean

and these

Avenir clip on fenders - http://www.amazon.com/Avenir-Clip-On...pr_product_top

the biggest issue with fender reviews seems to be that they don't fit right. or don't mount right because it doesn't have the screw hole in the back (as mine doesnt) so I am attaching pictures of the bike rear for help.
the bike is a Sekai (got it second hand and the model information is worn off of the paint)

if anyone has any leads on a better option or knows if these options would work on my bike I'd love to hear about it!
thanks!

I've tried several, and the ones I keep coming back to are the Bontrager Satellite QR "beavertail" style fenders.

They come with two lengths of QR mounts. The disc brake ones are shown on the Bontrager web site. For road calipers there are longer ones that reach under and behind them. The QR requires a bit of clearance between the brake caliper and the tire.

To install the QR, remove the caliper, take out the thinner washer, mount the QR in place of the thinner washer, bolt the caliper back in place, torque to spec (8-10 Nm for Shimano).

After that, you just slot the fender into the mount and close the QR lever.

They won't keep the bike clean like full fenders do, but they will keep your backside clean.

Here's the mounted QR on the back of my old Schwinn. This particular carbon fork doesn't have sufficient clearance for the front one, and I haven't bothered to track down a "Sheldon nut" so the front is fenderless.



If you squint at it long enough, you can see them mounted front and rear on the yellow bike in this pic.

just took a look at them. have you tried the commuter series of fenders? same brand but about $10 cheaper.
I'm trying to find the difference between these satellites you have and the commuter fenders but can't find any information that says the differences.

Nope. Sorry.

i live in TX, something like this works for the occasional rainstorm. will keep your butt dry, not your feet though.

Ass Savers

id look in commuting/touring forum as well

I recently put a set of SKS Raceblade Long fenders on one of my bikes. These things work very well give nearly the same coverage a standard full size fenders...much superior to other clip-on types. I have a couple of sets of Crud Roadracers and they are very fragile, a pain to put on and off, rub, etc..

Those SKS Raceblades look like a nice setup.

the ass saver is pretty funny but I feel it'll still leave my bag/legs getting wet/splashed with road debris.
the ones from bontrager look good - though I wish I knew the difference between the commuter and satellite series as they are almost half the price.

Those that just hang onto the seatpost are always turning sideways from what I see.

I have these



but gave up on the fronts as they weren't doing anything to keep my feet dry. the rears work very well.

Raceblade Longs are different from Raceblades.
