          Comments about SKS Shockboard Front Fender:

          The mounting hardware provided by SKS does not fit my 2005 Marzocchi suspension fork. The smallest mounting plug had to be filed down to work. Even after that, the fender is designed to sit further back on the mounting bracket but is blocked by the head of the fork. As a result, the fender is just barely held in place and easily dislodges.

          Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

            Comments about SKS Shockboard Front Fender:

            This fender does a good job of keeping the mud out of my eyes and mostly off of my body. Personally, I would prefer a smaller fender, but all I care about is keeping the mud out of my eyes. If you want to stay as dry and clean as possible, this is a great fender. I have taken a couple of falls, and the fender is still in one piece.

            Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

              Comments about SKS Shockboard Front Fender:

              I opted for this over the cheaper planet bike bog fender because it looked sturdier. It was easy to install on my 2000 manitou shock. Just make sure to use the right quick disconnect so it clears the brace when the fork compresses. Only used it once but it worked great. It won't keep your shoes dry but it kept my upper body clean while riding through deep puddles.
