I bought this to convert my mountain bike to a commute bike hoping I can keep my shirt and tie clean by the time I reach the office. I rode it a couple of times after heavy rain on wet road and it does keep the water and dirt off me relatively well as a fender suppose to do.
The part I am disappointed is how it doesn't hold center and require frequent tightening after a few bumpy rides. I am afraid to over tighten it because it is held under the steering bracket by couple plastic pieces and a screw. It would work much better if it has some type of aluminum or alloy bracket.
The bracket also reduces the shock aborter travel distance by about 1.5 cm, this may not sound like a lot but on my bike it hits the top of the v-brake bracket every time I put some extra push on the pedal, especially on uphill ride or when I hit a speed bump. Although it does not hinder the brake function, after a mile of uphill ride and the fender knocking against the bracket I was not a happy rider at the end of the trip.
Their concept of easy removal when you want to get mud in your face is nice, but their mounting design just too flimsy to hold it on the bike, even just for the pave road.
Look for something else if you are looking for a fender on a mountain bike.
