ASS SAVERS Frr-4-blk Bicycle fenders

Product Information

Gravel biking enthusiasts are always on the lookout for gear that can improve their off-road adventures, and one essential accessory is a reliable set of fenders. Ass Savers Fenders fit the bill perfectly for off-road adventure cycles, combining innovative design with practicality and ease of use. In this post, we will explore the benefits and features that make Ass Savers Fenders a popular choice for off-road cyclists, including their suitability for various tire widths, lightweight construction, and tool-free mounting system. Mudguards come in various options to accommodate different preferences, budgets, and bike types. Minimalist, strap-on mudguards can provide some relief from the mud and water spray while full-length fenders offer more comprehensive protection from head-to-toe. By keeping riders more comfortable throughout their ride, mudguards can prevent chill and discomfort from damp clothing and eliminate the unpleasant experience of a muddy face and rear end. The only really problem we have with the Mudder Mini is that it doesn’t work with suspension forks (it just can’t strap around where the lowers & arch come together). Most other small plastic front fenders we’ve used (including the Mudder Regular) attach directly to the fork crown with zip ties. That makes them more versatile when suspension fork arches come into play, but then you lose control over how close they sit to the tire when you have a lot of mud clearance. I preferred the 55cm long x 8cm wide Big version (over the 54×6.5cm regular) because more is better. My gravel & road tires keep getting wider, and an extra 10g up to 60g is inconsequential with the promise of a bit of extra coverage. Both cost just 15€ too, so price isn’t an issue either. When choosing gravel bike mudguards, it’s essential to consider several practical factors to ensure you make the best choice for your specific needs and preferences. Here, we’ll discuss four key considerations: clearance and fit, weight, protection level, and ease of installation and removal.

Firstly, it’s crucial to consider your bike’s clearance since not all bikes can accommodate mudguards, especially when running larger tires. Take into account the space required for both the mudguards and any trail debris that may get caught between the tire and guard. You might need to size down on your tires or, in some cases, switch to a smaller wheel size, like from 700c to 650b, if your bike offers compatibility.

Front vs. Rear Mudguards: Which One Should You Choose? The specially designed straps have enough friction to prevent the mudguard from sliding down on a conic fork leg. However, it needs to be tighten firmly to stay up. The open ended design of the strap will allow you to adjust the length and thereby center the position of the ASS SAVERS logo on the fork leg. You can also inverse the strap if you prefer to have a no-logo appearance. Fitting mudguards can be a bit challenging, but taking the time to ensure a proper fit or seeking help from a local mechanic is essential for optimal performance. Gravel riders can choose among front, rear, or both mudguards, depending on their preferences and the type of protection they desire. Front mudguards primarily protect the rider’s face from debris, while rear mudguards shield the lower body from grimy splashes.With the newly developed attachment construction, FENDOR BENDOR Regular is now completely self supported and therefore possible to mount on bikes without the sideway support of the seat stays or the support of a brake bridge. You could also mount it above your caliper brake to avoid interference with the brake.

With their compatibility across various tire widths, lightweight design, and no-tool mounting system, these fenders are perfect for riders who prefer minimal fuss and maximum performance.

Instead, the 20g worth of fender is all about cutting down on a small section of spray coming off the front wheel. What it does is, it limits the spray that hits two spots – the headset and your face. As someone who rides with prescription glasses, reducing the amount of sand, wet mud & water that hits me in the face is a huge deal. This thing is by no means perfect, but it probably cuts the spray onto my face by half. That’s a big enough deal that I put one of these on every bike it will fit, and just leave it there all the time. the ‘ fendor-bendor‘ is a foldable rear mudguard, designed by netherlands-based cycling design studio wit industries (founded by dutch designer olaf wit). composed of polypropylene plastic and weighing just 35 grams, the piece snaps easily on and off of bicycle frames, folding up for transport when not in use.

Enter mudguards, or fenders, specifically designed for gravel bikes – a true game-changer for those who brave wet and wintery weather on their off-road adventures.It’s essential to consider factors such as the type of terrain you generally ride on and the climate and weather conditions in your area. If you frequently ride on wet and muddy trails, both front and rear mudguards might be necessary for optimal protection. However, if your rides tend to be drier and less prone to mud and debris, you may find that one type of mudguard is sufficient for your needs. First up is the Ass Savers Mudder Mini mudguard, which offers a minimal yet effective solution for riders who prefer a discreet and lightweight front fender. Weighing just 21 grams, this mudguard is very easy to install without any tools, thanks to its anti-slip straps that ensure a secure fit on all fork sizes. Despite its small size, the Mudder Mini offers adequate protection from road spray, keeping you relatively clean on wet and muddy rides.

Ass Savers’ goal seems to have always been to make a low-cost solution that can improve the quality of your ride. While full coverage fenders aim to keep you dry and clean on your commute or on those long, wet winter road rides, Ass Savers are just trying to divert some of the rain & mud that is going to inevitably get you on wet adventurous rides. Ass Savers Mudder Mini strap-on plastic front wheel / face fender The MUDDER Mini will fit all gravel/cx forks with clearance for tire widths between 32 mm up to 55 mm. It will not work on a road fork with narrow clearance or for fat bikes. The correct position is about 10 mm above the tire. Aligning the position to the tire and not the fork crown increases efficiency and is made possible by our custom hook and loop straps. Make sure that the mudguard doesn't touch your down tube when turning the handlebar. We’ve had a number of Ass Savers and other assorted, low-cost clip-on plastic fenders for quite some time. While never a real substitute for actual full-cover mudguards, the Ass Saver Big did a respectable job at keeping most mud & spray off our butts, especially for short periods of time like warming up for a cross race. fendor-bendor’ in use: unfold; prefold along folding lines along its length; slide the device through seat stays; fold around seat tube and clamp closedFixing the Fendor Bendor couldn't be easier; fold the plastic sheet along the pre-scored lines to give the mud guard some shape and integrity and then squeeze it through the rear stays above the rear brake and attach it to the seat tube with a strap of velco. Et voila. Once in place it is remarkably rigid and doesn't seem to budge at all, though of course it doesn't work if you have a wishbone design rear seat stay. Weighing 60g, the Fendor Bendor Big is certainly lightweight but remarkably stable with some well-designed creases and folds giving the thin polypropylene its shape and rigidity. Fitting is straightforward, the single Velcro strap means you can easily attach and remove it from your bike, but we did find compatibility issues with frames that had a mono stay and it may well not play nicely with rim brake calipers either. Clearance can be an issue, as the added layer of protection around the tires can require extra space, and not all off-road bikes have sufficient clearance for mudguards, especially with chunkier tires. Riders might need to downsize their tires or switch to a smaller wheel size for compatibility with mudguards. For those who prioritize full mud and water protection and don’t mind spending a bit more, full-length mudguards are an excellent option. These mudguards provide more comprehensive coverage, keeping you dry from head to toe and maintaining your gravel bike frame and components in better condition. Full-length mudguards usually come with mounting materials, struts kits, and sometimes even stainless steel fixed bridges for added durability. The SKS Bluemels Reflective Mudguards are a popular option, with sizes to fit tires ranging from 28-47mm and the additional ASR system for extra protection in case of wheel jams. Fenders / mudguards aren’t just there for the rider, they also benefit your components. Keeping water away from your bearings, especially those in the headset, will reduce your risk of mechanical issues and make your parts last longer.
