Troubleshooting
Spoiler does not fit securely.
Verify that your mudguard width matches the spoiler's specifications (69mm). Ensure the mounting holes are correctly drilled or that the USC plug is properly engaged.
Excessive spray still occurs.
Confirm the spoiler is attached to the correct end of the mudguard and is aligned properly. Check if the mudguard itself is correctly positioned on the wheel.
Drilling the mudguard is difficult.
Use a sharp drill bit suitable for plastic. Secure the mudguard firmly before drilling. If unsure, consult a bicycle mechanic.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility:
This spoiler is designed to extend SKS BLUEMELS and EDGE AL mudguards. It is suitable for angular mudguard profiles with specific widths: 46 mm, 56 mm, 65 mm, 69 mm, and 75 mm. Ensure your existing SKS mudguard matches one of these dimensions.
Setup:
- Check for USC Plug: Examine the end of your existing SKS mudguard. If it has a USC (Universal Spoil System) connector, the spoiler can be directly clipped on.
- Drilling Method: If no USC plug is present, use the included drilling template to mark two hole positions on the end of the mudguard.
- Drill Holes: Carefully drill the marked holes.
- Mount Spoiler: Push the spoiler onto the end of the mudguard. Secure it using the included clip and two locking washers.
Care:
- Clean the spoiler with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the plastic surface.
- Regularly check the mounting points to ensure the spoiler remains securely attached.
