Troubleshooting
Mudguard rattles during ride
Ensure the mounting straps or zip-ties are tightened securely. Check that the mudguard is not making contact with the tire or fork lowers.
Mudguard is not staying in place
Re-tighten the mounting system. If using zip-ties, consider using stronger, UV-resistant ties. Ensure the fork legs are clean before mounting for better grip.
Mudguard interferes with suspension travel
Adjust the position of the mudguard on the fork lowers. Ensure it is mounted as high as possible while still providing adequate coverage. Check compatibility with your specific fork's travel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Deflector FM20 can be mounted using either the included Velcro straps or zip-ties. For zip-tie installation, pass the ties through the designated holes on the mudguard and secure them tightly around the fork stanchions. For the Snap-On system, attach the Velcro straps to the fork and then clip the mudguard into place. Ensure the mudguard is positioned to provide optimal coverage and clearance from the tire.
Compatibility: This mudguard is designed to be compatible with most standard and Boost (wider hub) mountain bike forks. It is recommended to check clearance with your specific fork model before installation.
Care: Clean the mudguard with mild soap and water. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, which could damage the technopolymer material. Periodically check the mounting system (Velcro or zip-ties) for tightness, especially after aggressive riding.
