Product Information
Full details
The Polisport S-Mud Rear Mudguard is an ideal solution for mountain and road cyclists who need reliable spray protection without the bulk of traditional permanent fenders. Designed for riders who prioritize a clean aesthetic and rapid installation, this lightweight accessory clips directly onto standard saddle rails. While its minimalist design offers excellent performance in wet conditions, it is specifically limited to bikes with 7mm rail systems and may not provide the same level of full-coverage protection as frame-mounted, wrap-around mudguards.

FAQs
Will this fit my carbon saddle rails?
The S-Mud is designed for standard 7mm saddle rails. If your carbon rails are oversized or have an oval shape, the clip may not fit securely.
Is it compatible with 27.5-inch wheels?
Yes, the S-Mud is compatible with wheel sizes ranging from 26 inches to 29 inches.
Can I leave it on the bike permanently?
While it is designed for easy removal, it can be left on the bike permanently as long as the clip remains secure.
Does it protect against all mud and water?
It provides excellent protection against direct spray, but because it is a minimalist design, it will not block as much debris as a full-length, wrap-around mudguard.
How do I adjust the angle?
The mount features an adjustable pivot point that allows you to rotate the guard to your preferred angle relative to the ground and rear tire.
Troubleshooting
Mudguard moves or slips during a ride
Check that the clip is fully engaged and that the saddle rails are standard 7mm width; ensure there is no dried mud inside the clip mechanism.
Mudguard does not sit straight
Loosen the clip slightly, re-center the mudguard over the tire, and tighten the mechanism firmly to lock it into place.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, simply align the clip with your saddle's 7mm rails, slide it into the designated slots, and secure the clip mechanism. Ensure the mudguard is centered with your rear tire for maximum efficiency. To adjust the angle, gently pivot the guard until you reach the desired coverage depth.
For care, wipe the mudguard down with a damp cloth after rides in muddy conditions. Avoid using harsh chemical solvents that could degrade the flexible plastic construction. Periodically inspect the clip mechanism to ensure debris has not built up inside the teeth of the fastener, which could impede a secure fit.
