Full details
The Topeak Defender RC1/RC11 Mudguard Set is an ideal solution for dedicated road cyclists who want to protect their bike and jersey from road spray and grime during wet weather rides. This set offers a lightweight, aerodynamic profile that maintains the aesthetic of high-performance road bikes while providing essential coverage. While highly effective for standard road setups, it is important to note that this specific model is limited to tire widths up to 700x25c, making it unsuitable for gravel or wide-tire endurance bikes.

FAQs
Can I use these with 28c tires?
No, the RC1/RC11 set is designed for a maximum tire width of 25c.
Does it fit all seatposts?
The QR clamp is designed to fit standard round seatposts. It may not be compatible with aerodynamic or ovalized carbon seatposts.
Is the material waterproof?
Yes, the high-impact plastic is fully waterproof and resistant to road salts and grime.
Do I need special tools to remove them?
No, both fenders are designed for tool-free removal once the initial installation is complete.
Will this work on a mountain bike?
No, this set is exclusively for road bikes with 700c wheels and thin tires.
Troubleshooting
Fender rubbing against the tire
Loosen the DuaLink adjustment screws and reposition the fender further away from the tire, then retighten firmly.
Rear fender sliding down the seatpost
Ensure the seatpost surface is clean and dry. If it continues to slide, consider a small piece of rubber shim or inner tube between the clamp and the post for extra grip.
Front fender vibrating
Check the mounting bolt at the fork crown to ensure it is tightened to the recommended specification.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires basic hand tools to secure the front bolt clip. Ensure the seatpost is clean of grit before attaching the RC11 QR clamp to prevent slippage. The set is compatible with 700c wheels featuring tires up to 25c in width. For care, wipe down the fenders with a damp cloth after rides; the polished underside makes cleaning quick work. Periodically check that the bolt-clip and QR levers remain tightened to ensure the fenders do not shift during vibration-heavy rides.
