SKS B46 Bluemels Style Fender

The B46 Bluemels are designed specifically for 700c wheels and are optimized for tire widths between 28mm and 37mm. If your tires are wider than 37mm, you may experience rubbing or insufficient coverage.

Installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable with basic bike maintenance, but it does require some patience to get the alignment perfect. You will need a standard set of hex keys and potentially a hacksaw if you need to trim the stays to fit your specific frame geometry.

Yes, the 'full coverage' design extends well around the wheel, which is highly effective at blocking water and grit from hitting your back and drivetrain. They provide significantly better protection than clip-on or 'race-blade' style fenders.

The set weighs 843 grams. While they aren't the lightest option on the market, the robust construction provides the durability needed for daily commuting and year-round use.

The matte finish is durable and designed to resist typical wear and tear from road debris. However, like any matte surface, it can show scuffs or scratches more visibly than a gloss finish if the bike is frequently leaned against rough surfaces.
