I got these for my road bike that didn't have fender braze-ons. The basic problem is that because they are so small they don't completely protect you from wheel spray. i suppose they are better than nothing, but I tend to want fenders that completely protect me from road spray. Also, they have black rubber-ish pads that sit against the fork when attached. I used these on a white Look frame and the black ended up discoloring the frame - it is still there years later, even though I didn't keep these that long. Probably not a problem unless you have a light colored frame and even then you may not care, but it bothered me.
