Troubleshooting
Mudguard does not stay attached
Ensure the quick-release lever is fully engaged and securely locked. Check for any obstructions on the fork stanchions or inside the mudguard's mounting area.
Rubbing against tire
Verify that the correct tire width is being used (1.75"-2.5"). Adjust the position of the mudguard if possible, or ensure it is properly seated on the fork.
Fender is loose or wobbly
Re-tighten the quick-release mechanism. If the issue persists, inspect the fork for damage or incompatibility, or consider if an adapter is needed and correctly installed.
