It works great! Mason St. Clair, of Wire Donkey newsletter fame, has long recommended the use of a cut down plastic milk jug as a mud flap for the front fender. It works great!

I swapped the fender struts, and mounted the long rear fender in the front. I then use the old front fender down low on the rear wheel and zip tie it to the seat tube and chain stays. To fill the remaining coverage gap on the rear tire I put on a Planet Bike Clip-Ons Hybrid rear fender. The rear struts from the Speedez and the front fender from the Clip-Ons Hybrid go in the parts bin until I figure out a way to extend the front fender without it getting sucked into the tire on a bump.
