FAQs
What size bikes is the Mucky Nutz Junior Rear Fender suitable for?
It is designed for kids' bikes and other small-wheel rides. It fits standard seatposts and seat tubes, but requires sufficient clearance on the frame.
How is the fender attached to the bike?
It attaches directly to the seatpost or seat tube using a supplied reusable non-slip fastener. This provides a secure, no-fuss mounting.
What are the dimensions of the Small and Large fenders?
The Small fender is 320mm long and 65mm wide, weighing 35g. The Large fender is 470mm long and 75mm wide, weighing 50g.
Is the fender adjustable?
No, it features a fixed-angle design for simplicity and reliability, offering straightforward protection without the need for adjustment.
Can I wash the fender?
Yes, you can wipe it clean with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
What material is the fender made from?
It is made from Mucky Nutz's signature recycled plastic, making it both durable and environmentally conscious.
Can the fender be stored easily when not in use?
Yes, the fender is flexible enough to be rolled up and stashed away easily when not needed.
Troubleshooting
Fender is loose or slips down
Ensure the non-slip fastener is tightened securely around the seatpost or seat tube. Check that the fastener is correctly positioned and not worn out. For persistent issues, consider adding a thin layer of grip tape under the fastener.
Fender does not fit the seat tube/post
Verify that you have sufficient clearance on your bike's seatpost or seat tube. The fender is designed for standard sizes, but very specific frame designs might present challenges. Ensure you are not attempting to fit it to an oversized or unusually shaped tube.
Mud is still splashing onto the rider
Check that the fender is positioned correctly to catch the spray from the rear wheel. Ensure it is aligned properly and that there are no large gaps between the fender and the tire or frame. For larger wheels or more aggressive riding, a larger fender might be necessary.
Fender seems too flimsy or bends easily
The fender is designed to be flexible for durability and storage. If it feels excessively flimsy during installation, ensure the fastener is providing adequate support. The flexibility is a feature that helps prevent damage if the bike is dropped or the fender is snagged.
