"These can be fitted in a matter of minutes. I did have a bit of trouble with the clamp on the seat post because I was trying to fit one of the supplied rubber shims between the clamp and post. In the end I didn't need to and haven't had any stability issues.
The front guard is held on with rubber o-rings, which allows movement should you crash or catch them on something.
They were delivered in a cardboard box that was ever so slightly small and the rear guard had been bent into the box. This caused a slight deformation in the end of the guard but it straightened out OK as it's pretty thin plastic.
The front guard doesn't stop spray from the top of the wheel coming over the bars and into your face, but this is minimal.

Overall, for the price, the light weight, ease of fitting make it worthwhile."

"I ordered these in large. I'm 6'2" and with the stirrups, these were too short, with a crotch down by knees. I sent them back and requested the x-large and they fitted a treat. They still have a low crotch but they don't restrict movement like dropping off the back of the saddle on the trail.
As for keeping you warm - they are excellent. Along with the waterproof treatment they can't be faulted.
Price wise they can't be beaten."

"This bladder is simply spot on. I had purchased a Deuter back pack without even thinking about a hydration pack. So when I realised that getting my lips around a muddly bottle top was really rubbish, I started searching and found Deuter do make one.
It feels quality; the material is very sturdy.
Twist lock nozzle is great, easy to use on the move and locks into either position.
There is a nozzle cover for in storage, keeping the bit you put in your mouth safe from nasties.
The wide opening is a simple but effective idea - easy to clean.
The orange handle clips into place, securing the liquid inside easily and doubles up as a hanger.

Will these fit Specialized Sirrus 2011 Hybrid Bike
I'm worried that the tube is more oval than round
Yeah, it will do. The front guard is fitted with o-rings so they will stretch around the tube with space for cables to run between the guard and tube.
