FAQs

Are these fenders suitable for carbon fiber forks?

The M1 front fender's quick-release attachment uses adapters that fit steerer tubes. While generally compatible, always consult your fork manufacturer's guidelines regarding accessories attached to the steerer tube, especially for carbon forks, to ensure no damage occurs.

Can I use these fenders with a dropper seatpost?

The XC11 rear fender can be attached to the seatpost. However, depending on the dropper post's travel and design, the fender's position might need adjustment or could potentially limit full dropper post travel. Test its functionality after installation.

How easy is it to remove the front fender?

The DeFender M1 features a quick-release fork attachment system that allows for removal in seconds without tools.

What is the material of the fenders?

The fenders are made from high-impact plastic. The rear fender has a co-moulded softer trailing edge for added durability.

Do these fenders work with bikes other than 29ers?

These fenders are specifically designed and optimized for 29" wheels. They may not provide adequate coverage or fit correctly on bikes with smaller wheel sizes.

How do I clean the fenders?

Clean them with mild soap and water using a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Troubleshooting

Front fender does not fit securely

Ensure you are using the correct adapter for your fork's steerer tube diameter. Check that the quick-release lever is fully engaged and tightened.

Rear fender rattles during ride

Adjust the fender's angle and position using the pivot points to ensure it is snug against the frame or seatpost. Tighten the seatpost clamp securely.

Mud still getting on rider's back

Re-adjust the angle and position of the rear fender for maximum coverage. Ensure the front fender is also properly aligned.

Quick-release lever is stiff

Clean the quick-release mechanism and apply a small amount of lubricant. Ensure no debris is obstructing the mechanism.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Front Fender (M1): Identify your front fork's steerer tube diameter. Select the appropriate adapter for the quick-release attachment system (Ø19.6-Ø26mm or Ø27.7-Ø35mm). Insert the adapter into the fork's steerer tube and attach the fender using the quick-release lever.

Care:

  • Clean the fenders with mild soap and water using a soft cloth or sponge.
  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which can damage the material.
  • Regularly check that the quick-release mechanisms and mounting hardware are clean and functioning correctly.
