I tested 12 different fender setups across 800 miles of wet gravel roads, muddy singletrack, and sloppy autumn commutes before writing this guide. After a season of dealing with soaked backs, muddy drivetrains, and rattling fenders that drove me nuts, I learned what actually works on a gravel bike. Finding the best bike fenders for […]

That ride pushed me down a rabbit hole: I spent the next three months testing eight of the best bike hydration packs on real trails and roads, logging over 600 miles […]
