  • Is there a great difference in quality between Velo Orange, GB and Honjos?

  • I've found the rear mudguards of Velo Orange to be quite short, at least in the pictures.

    Gilles Berthoud are really nice bang for buck, have nothing bad to say about them.

    Honjo seems like the ultimate quality, but probably not worth the premium you're paying.

  • Yes. (Don’t know about GB).

    Honjos are 100% worth the money if you get the right size for your tyres. The fixings are better and the profile is more useful (they wrap around more).

    Don’t get me wrong, for the money VOs are still good as long as you use the internal stick on supports. I’ve had them crack If you don’t.

    People balk at the price tag, but then spend the same it more more on a foam hat or fancy shoes, that don’t offer anywhere near the same practical benefits for the all weather rider.

    Plus they look way better than the VOs. The finish on them is next level.

    TL;dr, VOs are fine, honjos are better.
