Portland Design Works Full Metal Fenders

Yes, these fenders are designed to be compatible with most disc brake setups. Because they use a flexible mounting system, you can adjust the stays to clear your brake calipers without interference.

They are constructed from anodized aluminum, which offers a great balance of lightweight performance and durability. While they are sturdy enough for light gravel and commuting, they are primarily engineered for road and city use rather than heavy-duty mountain biking.

You will need a standard set of metric Allen keys and a pair of wire cutters to trim the fender stays to the correct length. The installation process is straightforward, but taking your time to measure the stays before cutting is the most critical step.

You should ensure you have at least 5mm of clearance between your tire and the fender itself to prevent debris from getting stuck. We recommend checking your frame's clearance at the chainstay bridge and fork crown before purchasing to ensure the fender width matches your tire size.

Yes, the kit includes all the required mounting hardware, including safety release tabs for the front fender. You may need to supply your own zip ties if you choose to secure the stays in a specific way, but the provided hardware covers standard mounting points.
