FAQs
What does 'Soggy Arse Syndrome' mean?
'Soggy Arse Syndrome' is a colloquial term used by cyclists to describe the discomfort and wetness experienced when riding through mud or rain, resulting in a soaked backside and saddle.
How quickly can I fit or remove the fender?
The fender is designed for tool and fastener-free fitting, which typically takes only a few seconds.
What is the warranty period?
The Mucky Nutz Mini Butt Fender comes with a 1-year warranty.
Will this fit my specialized saddle?
It fits most standard double steel rail saddles. It is not compatible with saddles that have daft plastic moulded bits in the way or single rail systems.
Can I use this with very wide tires?
The fender works well with bikes equipped with tires up to 55mm wide. Wider tires may reduce its effectiveness.
Does it come in different colors?
Yes, it is available in stealthy black or a high-vis reflective option for increased safety.
Where is the product manufactured?
The Mucky Nutz Mini Butt Fender is designed, developed, and manufactured in the UK.
Troubleshooting
Fender is not staying securely in place.
Ensure the saddle rails are standard double steel rails and there are no obstructions. Try adjusting the position of the fender under the rails to maximize tension. Ensure the fender is correctly seated against the back of the saddle.
Mud still gets through.
Check that the fender is positioned correctly and is not obstructed. While effective, the Mini Butt Fender is designed for discreet protection and may not provide the same coverage as a full-sized mudguard in extreme conditions. Consider if tire width is within the 55mm limit.
Fender seems too stiff or brittle.
This product is made from a high-performance material designed for durability. Extreme cold temperatures might temporarily affect its flexibility. Allow it to warm up to ambient temperature if stored in a very cold environment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: The Mini Butt Fender requires no tools or fasteners. Simply unfold it and tuck the front end under the saddle rails. The rear part of the fender then rests against the back of the saddle. The design uses the tension from the saddle rails and the fender's shape to keep it secure.
Compatibility: This fender is designed to fit most standard bicycle saddles with double steel rails. It is not compatible with saddles that have integrated plastic molded parts in the rail area or with single-rail (e.g., V-lock) systems. It works well with bikes using tires up to 55mm wide.
Care: To clean the Mini Butt Fender, simply wipe it down with a damp cloth. For tougher mud, mild soap and water can be used. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the material. Ensure it is completely dry before folding and storing it under the saddle.
