No, they are not easy to install, but they are worth it. They will keep you dry and clean in the rain and mud, and they will also help protect your bike from road debris.
Mudguards, also known as fenders, are designed to protect you and your bike from the elements, namely rain and mud. They attach to the frame and fork of your bike and extend outwards, covering the wheels. Mudguards are particularly useful in the winter months when the roads are wet and muddy. They prevent you from getting splashed with mud and water, and keep your bike clean. They also help to protect your eyes from flying debris. Mudguards are not essential for every rider, but if you do a lot of riding in wet and
Mountain bike fenders, also known as mudguards, are designed to protect your bike and rider from mud and debris that can be thrown up by the tires. They are typically made of plastic or metal and can be attached to the frame or fork. Mudguards are particularly important in wet and muddy conditions, as they can prevent your bike from becoming caked in mud and debris. This can not only make your bike difficult to ride, but also damage the components and paintwork. While mudguards are not essential for all mountain biking, they can be a worthwhile
Fenders are not required to cover the entire tire, but they must extend far enough to prevent debris from being thrown up and hitting other vehicles. Many states have specific requirements for how far a fender must extend. Check your state's requirements to be sure your fenders are adequate.

I was born and raised in Oregon, where damp winters and sporadic light rain are common.This fender looks fantastic with my 2017 Trek Stache 9.6, a hardtail that is entirely matte black with gloss black accents. It protects the back tire well and was comparatively simple to place and set up. Although the main span of the blade appears to cover at least 95% of the breadth of my WTB Ranger 3.0" tires perfectly good, it is listed for a maximum tire width of 2.5". (The wide spade at the end *certainly* spans at least the entire width.)Similar versions are made by SKS, and I've read some complaints in other reviews about how difficult it is to properly tighten the clamp strap, but I didn't have that problem. It took me a few tries to get the strap's tension just perfect, but it's only necessary once (or should be; we'll see.) The blade alignment required a little more fidgeting because the act of clamping it on threw it a few degrees awry, necessitating advance compensation. For initial setup, neither of these issues bothered me.In person, the color contrast is less obvious: it seems more like black on black than like the front and rear inserts are "charcoal" or something (as the photo looks to me). There is a difference, but it is more like a difference in texture than color, and the entire blade is about equally flexible.It doesn't take much torque to ensure that joint won't move without being forced because the hinge close to the seat-post clamp is toothed. I don't see how they could significantly reduce the size of the teeth, albeit one would ask for a bit finer adjustment. It appears to be a thoughtful engineering compromise. It won't be difficult to fit, and all I wanted was for it to be somewhat closer to the tire.A portion of one of the "lighter-black" inserts appears to serve as a rubbery friction-washer on the wishbone's bottom hinges, which are more of a friction fit. The front insert, which is a separate component and can be tilted down from the default position shown, is in contrast to the rear insert, which is securely molded in place. (I don't understand why you would need or want to, but there it is.) I can't comment to how much the fender migrates because I haven't yet put any miles on the bike with it installed. The fender, however, has a much flatter curvature than my 29" 3.0 wheel/tire, so even if it droops, it will make contact with the centre of the fender rather than being stuck with the end in the tread. I'll update this review as needed in the future.Overall, it lives up to expectations, looks excellent on an all-black or "stealth" bike, and seems to provide the coverage that was promised. That generally receives 5 stars from me.I'll now explain why I docked a star:It came with a surprise. Although it isn't much, the fender arrived zip-tied to a hang-card rather being in a package of its own. The flexible, rubbery plastic of the blade appears to have developed a tiny twist from end to end after being placed on a shelf for an extended period of time. This is sufficient to cause the fender to swerve and become out of alignment with the wheel. For instance, the rear tip of the blade is tilted to the side and about half an inch to the right of where it should be if the clamp-end and "wishbone" are centered. Even though I was able to adjust the mount angle to cover the tire without making the bike look strange, the bike still appears misaligned when viewed directly from the front or rear. It doesn't appear to be a defect in the production process; rather, it just lacks protection from falling onto a shelf or being tucked under anything else. If you park your bike next to a wall every day, pushing the blade to the side, I imagine that eventually it will take a set from that and not quite spring back to square.After splashing through some puddles, rattling some fillings, and generally commuting like a hooligan, I'll return to this review and report on any shortcomings or benefits I find, as well as whether the twist resolves itself. Only time will tell. However, I'm not returning it because I can tolerate a minor twist given the price.[UPDATE, some time later] Our soggy spring appears to be nearing completion, and I've removed the fender. It held its position perfectly, and after approximately a week, the twist seemed to loosen up. The wishbone friction hinge is much more durable than I anticipated, and the fender was surprisingly difficult to move when I adjusted it. I can assure you that it has never moved on its own. I may have made the screws too tight, so YMMV, but from what I can see, it can be rock solid.Review upgraded from four to five stars! =)

On my 2018 Salsa Fargo 27.5, I mounted the Fifty-Fifty mountain bike fender/mud guard. Installation is easy as pie. The dirt guard is fixed in place with four zip ties. As you can see from the photographs, the majority of the fender's coverage is at the rear, with very little protruding out the front. The mud guard has numerous holes to make installation easier. You can play about with the number of hole pairs you use and move the mud guard (fore and aft). This Fifty-Fifty mud guard comes in a variety of accent colors with a black finish. I choose the variant in black and gray. As you can see, the graphics are rather subtle and look excellent on this bike. The photographs also show that there is plenty space between the fender and the Schwalbe G-One Allround 27.5 tire. The 26', 27.5", and 29" tires on both plus-size and fat bike models are said to fit this mud guard. The width of the tire will, of course, determine the coverage for fat bike tires. On my 3.8-inch-wide Salsa Beargrease fat bike, I'd like to test mounting one of these. rapid shipping from the supplier. The item was delivered safely in a sizable padded envelope. The directions were clear, and it was helpful to view pictures of prior installations, but overall, it is a simple matter to follow them. contains a large number of zip ties.

I decided to use orange as the accent color on my new Santa Cruz Chameleon, which has a Fox Rhythm 34 fork, therefore I purchased the black/orange version. My wife, the local fashion expert, had other ideas. She advised me to go with all black and then suggested that I install the mud-flap with the reverse side up. The fact that the device just had color on one side rather than a top and bottom side made that work wonderfully. Therefore, if you desire black, you can have it.Since it has been raining for days, I will post once I have had a chance to test it out in the mud. If you have your own zip ties because the kit doesn't include any, I can report that installing it was rather easy.2019-07-10 update: I've added a photo from a somewhat muddy ride. While the mudgard did gather up a fair amount of mud, as you can see in the picture, it didn't truly stop much mud from hitting the frame. The fork and head tube were spared, but not much else. Since the mudguard doesn't really cover the face unless you are positioned quite far forward over the bars, my face also collected a fair amount of mud. However, it is an improvement over nothing and it is attractive. I'm still delighted, but I believe it would have been much more effective if it had been a little longer or more curved to follow the wheel.

This was purchased for my winter cycle (Origin8 Amarok XLT). To help keep winter road salt off my bike frame, I planned to attach it there, between the seat downtube and the rear tire.When I got it, I discovered that it has tabs and projections in the shape of its shape on both the inside and the outside that are not easily visible in the picture. Due to the lack of clearance caused by these projections, I am unable to mount it in front of my back tire. To install this, you need a minimum of 1.5 inches of clearance. The tabs on the outside were ground off, but it still didn't fit.However, I was also looking for a way to shield my front down tube, which is what this item was made to accomplish, so I fitted it there with no problems.It would be safe to attach it on the back of your helmet for this amount ($6).

Nice, lightweight fender that does a nice job of shielding your face from muck and water. No, it doesn't totally stop muck and water from splashing you in the face. This little fender is designed to be lightweight and stop most of the water and debris from shooting up into your face when driving. This is what it does, as intended. Your face will be ahead, to the side, or to the back depending on how your body is positioned, thus you might not be in the safe line of fire. Winching is installation. It takes just one minute. A substantial full fender is what you need if you want complete coverage. However, I am content with the Mucky Nutz Face Bike Fender for my MTB.

I'll give it five stars because there's nothing wrong with it, but my problem is that they really aren't for my bike. I have a Scott 27.5.740 genius with about 7 or 8 in travel front suspension forks, so no matter how you ziptie the front on, it's going to slide around. In addition, because of the way my frame is set up in the back swing arm, a support brace is in the way and the fender is almost straight up I'm quite sure I've got it. But I can tell you that the first time it slips, it gets cut off and either gets thrown like a frisbee or is handed to my friend. This means that it's not the product; it was just the wrong size for my bike, which was my fault for failing to look at the one picture that was supplied. I had to look around to find more pictures of it on a bike, and when I did, I discovered one that is the same style but from a different manufacturer. The small square piece had me perplexed; I wasn't sure where it went until I saw the pictures, and it turns out that it is basically just an extension that you zip tie to the front of the front fender, which doesn't make much sense, but they are made of sturdy material and won't break easily at all.

This is a fantastic product, to start with. I've used a few others over the years, but this mudguard is by far the strongest I've ever seen or used. With my 27.5x3.0 tires, it fits and performs flawlessly. There were no zip ties in the packaging when I first got it. I left a really bad seller feedback because I was so angry. In the end, I bought some very strong long zip ties from a nearby hardware store. Then, the seller got in touch with me and offered to send me the zip ties. I opted to either amend or remove the first bad seller feedback in light of that and the fact that shipping errors can happen at any time, but I am unable to do either due to technical difficulties. The product is excellent and well worth the cost. But I'd advise you to purchase your own strong zip ties.

This was purchased for my two bikes' fenders. One has a B17 and the other a Brooks cambium. On days when it had rained and the roads were still filthy and muddy, it performed quite well on both. Although I haven't used it yet, I did see that they have a particular version for the B17 that is claimed to better protect the underbelly. As far as I could tell, this one did a fantastic job. But I have to admit that the main reason I bought it was so that my clothes will stay dry and clean.To test it out, I did use it on a few other bikes with various saddles, and so far it has worked flawlessly in every situation.

For my 24" motorized mountain bike, I was seeking for an affordable set of fenders. These are well-fitting; the strong fender helps to collect mud. I've heard of people breaking theirs with only a tap, but I believe they're lying. To break these, you'd have to really "tap" on them. Like I had read in other reviews, mine wasn't delivered in an improper shape. They were straight, well-packaged, and included a screw and nut for mounting the front fender. I am quite tough on the trails, so I know that soon I will break them. I'll be purchasing these once more when that time arrives. unlike the folding fenders, it is not weak or floppy. The nicest aspect is that they match my bike and give it a fantastic look!Current status: going strong. even a few times misplaced the front one. It continued to cling on the forks while eating the tire. I've even dropped it a couple times when acting crazy. Continuing to fight. Couldn't ask for more for $9. I'm unsure of when I'll purchase another pair because they keep working. Updated over a year ago: I finally shattered these. Worth every single cent. Getting a second set. My bike was recently jackshafted. On a muddy trail, she was traveling at 30 mph. Branch slammed his bike. Fender saved the day by stopping it from piercing my tire. Although it is now dead. A front fender would have been nice. till I procure another pair. Plastic is incredibly durable and can withstand a lot of abuse. What broke was the metal clasp holding it on. Im surprised it survived for so long after a year of assault. If you value yourself more than your bike, get good fenders. These will damage the tire and run through it without damaging you. The kind made of metal and extremely thick plastic will demonstrate the agony of failure. Quick stop and bang, you're down. I would prefer to have these at the speeds I ride over a robust, indestructible pair that will injure me. Repurchasing them!! You can't top the quality or safety factor for the price these are being sold for. Excellent product!
Gravel bikes are designed to be ridden on a variety of surfaces, including gravel roads. Fenders can help keep you clean and dry when riding on wet or muddy roads. They can also help protect your bike from grit and debris. While gravel bikes don't necessarily need fenders, they can be a helpful addition for riders who want to keep their bikes and themselves clean.
Mudguards are designed to protect you and your bike from the spray of water and mud that can build up on your tires during wet rides. But do they actually slow you down? The short answer is: no, mudguards don't slow you down. In fact, they can actually help you ride faster by keeping your tires clean and your vision clear. That said, there are a few things to keep in mind when using mudguards. First, they can add weight to your bike, so if you're racing or riding in a particularly hilly area, you
Short bike fenders, also known as mudguards, work by deflecting water, mud, and debris away from the rider. They are typically made of plastic or metal and are attached to the frame and fork of the bike. While they may not provide full coverage like full-length fenders, they can still help keep the rider clean and dry.
Most cyclists agree that a front bike fender is a valuable addition to any bicycle. They keep you dry and clean in wet weather, and they help to keep road debris from hitting you in the face. They're also relatively inexpensive and easy to install. If you do a lot of riding in wet or dirty conditions, a front fender is a worthwhile investment.
Most cyclists would never dream of riding without fenders, but there are a few die-hards who insist that they're unnecessary. So, do you really need fenders? The answer depends on a few factors. If you're only riding on dry, well-maintained roads, you can probably get away without them. But if you're riding in wet or dirty conditions, or on roads with a lot of debris, fenders are a must. They'll keep you and your bike clean, and help you avoid flats. If you're still not convinced
There are a few things to consider when choosing a bike fender. The first is the width of the fender. You'll want to make sure the fender is wide enough to cover the tires on your bike. The second is the material the fender is made from. Some materials are more durable than others and can withstand more wear and tear. The third is the style of the fender. Some fenders are more sleek and streamlined while others are more functional. Choose the style that best suits your needs.
