Here on Vancouver Island they are becoming more popular.  Have not heard anyone make fun of them, you have to be an idiot if you prefer a wet mouldy ass. Both my Knolly Fugitive and Pipedream Moxie have em and I simply won’t buy a frame that the MH doesn’t fit.

They work well. The only problem I’ve had is the one on my full suspension bike slipping down the seat stays on a bouncy downhill and rubbing the tyre. Zip tieing to the bridge between the stays will solve that though.

Arrived today, front is a bit tight between tyre and fork and the rear one looks like it needs a bit of adjusting to get it seated. Not convinced, so, anyone want them for a bit less than they cost me (which was £43 incl blue and white decals) ?

Iain – heat them a bit and you can adjust them to get a perfect fit.

yep, you can hair drier a standard 29er to fit a 4″fat bike tyre

I cut a section out of ours so they fit around the fork brace rather than under it. Gives a good bit more clearance.

My front mud hugger used to tyre buzz when out of the saddle.

This solved that problem. Lots more clearance.
