Sodapop Frame Mount Fenders
Sure you could cut up, zip-tie, and epoxy a bunch of empty two-liters together to fashion a makeshift fender. But, unless you're delivering food aboard a lead-sled, big-box store monstrosity then it's going to look a little out of place on your beloved bicycle. Not mention, the effort and time involved would most likely exceed the cost of the Portland Design Works Sodapop Frame Mount Fenders.
Like those DYI fenders though, the Sodapop Fenders are manufactured from post-consumer recycled beverage bottles. They're tough and install easily -- and they look great, too. The Sodapop Fenders come in two widths to fit most city or mountain frames. If it's a mountain bike that you're looking to add weather protection to, you'll need a fork with a hole in the crown.

Great fenders & value
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
If they fit, these are great fenders. They are easy to install on many bikes and have held up well for two years on a commuter/beater bike. For the price, they're a superb value. I am ordering a second pair for a gravel bike. I really like that they are well made, last a long time, look good, and hold up. They are also fairly easy to work with & modify if needed to get the right fit. The installation video is really helpful and can give you a sense of how they might fit on your bike. Five stars because they're a great value for what they are!! You won't find better at a lower price point!

Does not hit every bike frame
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
I bought this to fit my rapid city rapid fixie and it worked great, but I had to make several alterations for the back fender. As for the front fender, it only works if you have a open hole on the fork to mount properly.

Bad design
These fenders are mediocre. Pros: If they fit on your bike they are easy to attach. Decent coverage. Cons: - The rear fender didn't fit on one of my bikes, because the space between the seat stays is too narrow. - The front fender gets in the way of my toes if I turn at low speed. Sooner or later I feel like the fender is going to break because of this. - Front fender doesn't stick out forward as far as I would like, meaning that I still get front tire spray in my face if it's really wet. I ride year 'round in the Pacific Northwest and I've used a lot of fenders. I have yet to find a great pair but these are definitely not it.
