FAQs
What type of bikes are these mudguards best suited for?
These mudguards are best suited for road bikes, hybrid bikes, and touring bikes that use 700c or 27" wheels and have tyre widths between 25mm and 32mm.
Are these mudguards sold as a pair?
Yes, the product description implies they are sold as a set for both front and rear wheels, as is standard for mudguards.
What material are the mudguards made from?
They are made from polycarbonate, a durable and impact-resistant plastic.
Can I fit these mudguards to a bike with 35mm tyres?
No, these mudguards are designed for tyre widths between 25mm and 32mm. Tyres wider than 32mm may not fit or offer sufficient clearance.
Do these mudguards come with all the necessary mounting hardware?
The product information does not specify if hardware is included. Typically, standard mudguard sets come with basic fittings, but it's advisable to check the product packaging or retailer details.
How do I clean these mudguards?
You can clean them with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using harsh or abrasive cleaners.
Will these mudguards fit my fixed-gear bike?
If your fixed-gear bike uses 700c wheels and has tyre widths between 25-32mm and compatible frame mounts, they should fit.
Troubleshooting
Mudguard rattles or vibrates during ride.
Check all mounting bolts and ensure they are tightened securely. Adjust the position slightly if it's too close to the tyre or frame.
Mudguard rubs against the tyre.
Loosen the mounting bolts slightly and reposition the mudguard to create more clearance. Retighten bolts once optimal position is found.
Mudguard does not fit correctly.
Verify that your wheel size and tyre width are within the specified compatibility range (700c/27" wheels, 25-32mm tyre width). Ensure your bike frame has the necessary mounting points.
Water/mud still sprays up.
Ensure the mudguard is positioned as close to the tyre as possible without touching. For maximum coverage, consider adding mud flaps (sold separately) to the ends.
