FAQs
How do I switch the bracket colors?
Gently detach the existing upper and lower brackets from the fender body. Align the new colored brackets and press them firmly into place until they click.
Can I use this fender with any saddle bag?
The fender is designed to integrate with Topeak's Duo Fixer system, which is compatible with Topeak QuickClick saddle bags and most strap-type saddle bags. Check your saddle bag's mounting system for compatibility.
Is this fender suitable for mountain biking?
While durable, it offers less coverage than dedicated full-coverage fenders. It's best suited for road cycling, commuting, and gravel riding where trail-specific protection isn't the primary concern.
What is the weight of the Flashfender?
The fender is ultralight, constructed from durable polypropylene, making its weight negligible for most cycling applications.
How easy is it to remove for cleaning?
The tool-free design allows for very easy removal. Simply disengage the locking mechanism, and the fender slides off the mount, facilitating quick cleaning.
Does it come with all necessary mounting hardware?
Yes, it includes the Duo Fixer mount and exchangeable upper and lower brackets for immediate installation.
Troubleshooting
Fender is loose or wobbly.
Ensure the fender is fully clicked into the Duo Fixer mount. Check for any obstructions on the seatpost or the mounting mechanism and clean them. Adjust the bracket position if necessary for a tighter fit.
Duo Fixer accessory won't attach securely.
Verify that the accessory is a compatible Topeak Duo Fixer system accessory. Ensure both the fender mount and the accessory mount are clean and free of debris.
Fender does not provide adequate coverage.
Slightly adjust the angle of the fender using the exchangeable brackets to optimize spray deflection. For more extensive coverage needs, consider a full-coverage fender system.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
