FAQs
Will this fit on a 29er mountain bike?
No, the Defender RX is specifically designed for 26-inch wheels; coverage may be insufficient for larger wheel sizes.
Does this require any tools for installation?
No, the mudguard utilizes a quick-release system that can be tightened or loosened by hand.
Can I use this with a dropper post?
While it can attach to most seatposts, ensure that the clamp does not interfere with the travel or the seal of your dropper post.
What material is this made of?
The mudguard is constructed from high-impact resistant nylon.
How do I clean mud that sticks to the fender?
The underside is highly polished to prevent buildup; typically, a simple rinse with water and a soft sponge is sufficient.
Troubleshooting
Mudguard rotates or slips on the seatpost
Tighten the quick-release tension nut slightly to increase clamping pressure on the seatpost.
Mudguard hits the rear tire during bumps
Adjust the angle and height of the fender using the hinge point to provide more clearance between the underside and the tire tread.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward: open the quick-release lever, position the clamp around your seatpost, and secure the lever. Ensure the clamp is tightened sufficiently to prevent rotation. This unit is designed for 26-inch wheels and standard bicycle seatposts. To care for the product, simply wipe down the polished underside with a damp cloth after each ride; because of the smooth finish, water and light scrubbing are usually enough to keep it looking new. Avoid using harsh chemical solvents that might degrade the nylon material.
