When selecting a fender consider wheel size
Fenders sizes are determined by wheel and tire size. It is important to know your wheel size and tire width when selecting a fender. Your wheel size can be found on your tire wall. Road bikes and urban bikes with narrower tires are normally called 700c or can be referred to as 28". Mountain bikes are typically 29" (29er) or 27.5" or 26". Smaller wheels are 20" or 24".
When selecting a fender consider tire width
Fenders sizes are determined by wheel and tire size. It is important to know your wheel size and tire width when selecting a fender. A rule of thumb is that the fender profile needs to be at least 5mm wider than the tire. Your tire width can be found on your tire wall. SKS Germany fender profile widths are in the name of the fender (example B55 is 55mm wide).
When selecting a fender consider Bluemels are bolt-on fenders
It is important to know that Bluemels fenders are a bolt on fender. Once placed on the bicycle, they are not easily or quickly removed. Bolt on fenders offer more coverage as they can be longer, and they offer more stability as they affix to the frame with bolts. Quickrelease fenders are available, but are a completely different setup than bolt on fenders.
Consider fender profile width vs frame spacing
It may always seem better to go with a wider fender profile because it would offer more spray coverage, but the fender profile must fit through the frame. Before selecting a fender, make sure the fender profile width is not wider than the distance between your seat stays or your fork legs. In the example in this photo, the fender profile must fit through the fork legs of the bicycle.
Mounting Bluemels Fenders
Mounting Eyelets for Bluemels Fenders
Mounting eyelets or frame/fork mounting clamps are required for installation of Bluemels and Bluemels STYLE Fenders. If you do not have mounting eyelets on your bike, frame mounting clamps can be purchased separately so that the fenders can be mounted on the bicycle frame.
Fender Stays (Metal Stays)
Bluemels Fenders have metal stays as a part of the fender mounting setup. These stays may need to be shortened for the fenders to fit properly on the bicycle. If the stays need to be shortened, you will need a hacksaw or bolt cutters to shorten the stays.
Tools and Hardware for Mounting
All hardware you will need to mount your Bluemels Fender is included.
You will need to provide a 7 and 8mm wrench and a 4mm allen key. If stays need shortened, you will need a measuring tape and hacksaw or bolt cutters.
It will take roughly two hours to install the fender set and require basic mechanical experience.

Front Fender SAFETY Release
Every Bluemel has a safety release system for the front fender. The system allows the struts/stays to be easily uncoupled if branches or other debris become caught between the tire and the fender.

Over 100 Years of Quality
SKS is a quality manufacturer in the bicycle industry, we have been keeping bikes rolling for over 100 years.
Our history began in 1921 when Karl Scheffer-Klute of Sundern, Germany began manufacturing curtain rods. His company was purchased in 1932 by Wilhelm Blome, who also purchased a tire inflator company, which inspired him to begin manufacturing metal pumps.
SKS is now known as a pump and bicycle fender manufacturer, along with accessories for your bike, including bike pumps, fenders, bags, tools, digital pressure gauges, bottle cages, cage adapters, and even phone holders.
SKS items are still designed and manufactured in Sundern, Germany. We will continue to innovate and manufacture the highest quality cycling accessories for years to come.
The Future is Orange
SKS Germany employs 400 people at our bicycle HQ in Sundern, and over 700 employees across our three combined divisions.
43% of our bicycle business is through aftermarket product sales while 32% is OEM product.
Annually, SKS Germany produces:
- 4.5 million full fenders
- 2 million clip-on fenders
- 1.2 million bicycle pumps
This totals over 18,000 fenders per day and 3,200 pumps per day!
Revamping the classics
In 2022 the SKS full fender line was renewed. The classic Chromoplastic Longboard and Commuter II full fenders were replaced with the new Bluemels and Bluemels Style fenders.
Both models are made using the same chromoplastic fender material. But, the Bluemels now come with black hardware and are available in more sizes than before.
The Bluemels Style fenders feature a square profile design, double U Stay technology, a matte black finish, and come with a sleek, flexible spoiler on the front and rear fender.

These are overpriced for what you are getting in terms of material but the quality is good so it's a tradeoff.The worst part about these fenders is the tedious customization you'll have to do. First you mount them - get them even side-to-side, then you mark the rods for cutting (for which you need to be fairly exact). The instructions then tell you to use a small hacksaw to cut off the excess.Oh boy, where do I begin? Have you ever tried to use a hacksaw to cut a piece of small-diameter, semi-hard steel rod that is flopping around with no good way to hold it, all the while making sure not to cut or scratch anything in the surround area? No? You've missed out. Instead, I removed them to perform the actual cuts, filed/sanded down the sharp bits, then mounted them back again. Whew! That was a lot of work.The final product is quite pleasing, though. As much as did not *enjoy* putting them on our bikes, I would do it again if I had to. Downgraded three stars for price, one back up for the quality of the steel.

I recently bought a Jamis Citizen 3. This bike and many modern bicycles are not equipped to add fenders. Be prepared to think outside the box, you will be pleased with the outcome.I like the quality of these fenders. I have a wood shop and plenty of hand tools to enable me to complete this task easily. I installed both fenders and tightened the hardware; front and back. I took the end caps with eyes for the nuts for the struts (see last photo) and held them up to the end of the struts/nuts and placed a mark where to cut the ends. Make sure you take a piece of blue tape to mark the front side of the strut (this will save you some time). Take only one strut off at a time. I used a cut wheel to cut-to-size.I had to use tie wraps for the front forks. You will have to remove the rear wheel to fasten the bottom bolt to the frame (by the crank).
