[Closed] Mucky Nutz fender Bender Fitting??

Dbl post

It's v simple...Take the length of velcro and wrap it around the leg of the fork, leave 30mm extra and cut. Cut the next bit the same length for the other leg. Then for the brace, again wrap the velcro round it and leave extra 20mm then cut 2 more lengths the same size. Job done 😀

all very well until you find yourself ground to a halt from it clogging with mud/leaves/twigs and need to remove it

I always have an old toothbrush tucked in with my tools which is handy for unclogging things, and an old toothpaste tube to use as a tyre boot.
Wonder if I could make an emergency dustcap from the lids?

NW you obviously aren't riding type of mud I'm talking about :-\

TBH mate I tend to avoid it, it's crap. But point I'm making is that the wee fender bender isn't any tighter around the wheel than the fork arch, I've clogged the fork without the mudguard just as badly as I have with so I don't reckon it's the issue.

Don't be silly 🙄
fork arch is a 1" bar, the fender creates a huge funnel

Aye, silly of me to draw conclusions based on my own experiences, must be losing it...

Sure, the fender is a little bigger at the entrance, but does that make any practical difference? Doubt it very much, unless you have a coating of mud 6 inches tall on your tyre. The width is identical.

Why on earth are you defending it so profusely?

You already admit to never riding thick sticky mud strewn with leaves and twigs.

My exact experience was my front wheel grinding to a halt every couple of revolutions, requiring clearing ad nauseum, I then removed the fender and carried on fine.

Its a good fender for puddles, wet trails and less thick, sticky mud.

You know what, it's not worth the hassle when you're in this sort of weird mood and inventing things to try to provoke an argument. Night night.

How bizarre! Is my honestly, and the realisation you are actually wrong really that difficult to deal with?
Oh, well.. Sleep tight Xx
