Hello,

I love my Planet Bike Cascadia Fenders, the extra long mud flap keeps
my shoes nice and clean (along with my chain). But I'm worried I'll
go over the bars while off-roading due to errant sticks/cans/etc. The
SKS fenders have a safety clip that allows the fender to break away in
such a case, but they don't have the same low coverage.

My question then:

Will the SKS safety clips work with the Planet Bike fenders?

Otherwise, I guess I'll just have to drill mud flaps onto some SKS
fenders.

Thank you,
Hans

Hmm.. I haven't tried that, but...

I do have Cascadia flaps on SKS fenders.

I haven't yet found any mudguards/fenders with separate wire stays
that they don't fit, provided it is possible to adjust the stay
length.
From the pictures I can find online, it looks as if the SKS clips will
fit your Planet Bike fenders fine.

You will probably need longer screws as well as the clips.
