Genius! What a great product, and website.

Ordered... thanks for the link btw JohnClimber

love the way it folds up out of the way under the seat when not used, plus the use of 'F*** Packaging' term on their webpage, respect 😉

hijack...........RD,are we having a pot or 2 on saturday?

I'll be ordering too... also loved the use of "f*** packaging" on their site and all recyclable.
Genius esp. as I had a right damp ass last weekend on both rides!
Cheers for the links John.... is it keeping you dry with a Fat Larry?

They only turned up tonight and I've Brooks saddle on my fat bike which is a little too wide to suit. They are working on a wide one.

sadly not, waiting in for a sofa to be delivered 😐 rock n roll!

😆

Clever idea. Cool seeming company. They got some of my money.

Thanks for the link.

slainte 😀 rob

Genius product! Very simple, cheap and effective.
Ordering a few tonight.

Like it; 2 on order. Any idea on delivery timescale, no chance by weekend I guess.

The foot down also sells these and I think mucky nutz have their own take on the same idea

mine took about 4 days to arrive

just orderd mine for the commuter as i dont like having to whip my cruds on and off all the time
superb idea!

I-Beam......Meh. Wet a*se it is then...

But did just get a Muckynutz to try on't front.

The ass saver is good but the mucky nutz one is better [url= http://muckynutz.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=48 ]Butt Fender[/url]

The MuckyNutz one is tricker to fit than it should be...I managed it taking the seatpost out of my frame. But that equals faff in my book...maybe it's my fat fingers?

this (ass-saver) looks a simpler design/easier fitting. although it has less fixings than the mucky nutz version

I'd be intrested in how the 'ass saver' holds up when it covered in mud

Ass Saver such a simple and brilliant product..

I have a standard one and a 'Fat' Ass version for my Brooks ..

Do they do a wet thigh saver as well?
The potential is there.

I've just ordered one for my narrow Brooks as well.

I bet it's not wide enough for the 3.8" Surly Larry but every little helps.

Just order one to try on the commuter (i-beam), if it don't work my mates another bday present up

It won't...surely. They clip to the rails of the saddle, I-Beam has no rails...

Only works on standard saddle rails

Did 3 hours last night, plenty of roots, mud and steps, with one of these on my Charge Spoon. It did the job it was designed for and was still there at the end.

It's perhaps a little more tricky to fit the first time, but perhaps more secure too as it has 4 fixing points to the rails not two. Really we are talking 45 seconds vs 30 seconds, it's no biggie.

Had my first trial of Bender Fender and Butt Fender last night.
Not bad at all for something so small and light. Nowhere near as good protection as my usual THE front moto-x style fender and old-skool Crud-guard on the back, but as subtle and light alternative I was impressed.

What gets me is that the protection is a reversal from my usual. Nomally, the rear wheel has close coverage (which keeps the dropper seatpost clean) and the front has loads of clearance by mounting in the crown. This is the other way round with tight clearance at the front and acres of clearance at tge back.

What would be really good would be a Bender-Fender style 'guard to go on the back. If nothing else, they look better being tighter to the wheel as they're less obvious.

Bender fender on the rear wouldn't give enough coverage

can you use the fender bender on non suspension road forks?

Bender fender on the rear wouldn't give enough coverage

It would on some frames, but not on most. what I'd like to see though is something that attaches to chainstays and wraps around the wheel, with clearance. So it doesn't have to be mounted miles away to give clearance for suspension movement.

organic355: I think it would, with some longer bits of velcro. Not sure if it would extend too far out the back and catch on the downtube though. Or in fact it would clash on the brakes (presuming rim brakes)

@Mattg - you still had to put your 'Pretty Man' camo trousers on when the going got tough though 😆

PrettyMan had my ass covered in extremis.

I hate products like this.
Not because they're not great, but because I wish I'd invented it and taken it to market.
One day, one day.

Yeah these are both face-palm "why didn't I think of that" products. I thought the same of Crud Catcher in its day, these guys trump Crud I think.

I have the old style i beam which has got almost rails on so just see

I've just had an email from Ass Savers ref this thread saying.

[b]"Thanks to you and Singletrack, I'm now swamped with work!"[/b]

So, from me it's a big thanks to you STWers who have supported the little inventers into the industry that we all love.

It's a shame they are so cheap as there is no commission on cheap stuff like this.

Can we have a picture of someone's back after a muddy ride please.
