To think we have been cutting DH Tubes to make mud guards for our forks for some years now and no one came out with this before now..... I have to hand it to them, I didn't even think to Marketing something like this.

You can take it off so easy, and they will put your logos on there for you.

I can use up a lot of old tubes for $30, and I won't feel bad if it gets ripped, torn or lost. My tube fenders are usually a bit narrower than that too, to reduce the risk of trapping a rock or mud between the "fender and the stanchion.

Forgive my Cali coast mud riding ignorance, but do these things and their tube-based forefathers work well? As well as a hideous moto-style fender?

I'll stick with an old punctured tube and yes they work.

Anything helps...I know that when I used to ride with fenders on my bullit and chameleon it made a huge difference. We just didn't have any mud to ride in last year so we don't remember what it's like.

So you pay 25 dollars more for that big ass ugly logo on the front of your bike?


Between headtube, stem, bars, headset, shifters and brakes, one thing my bikes do NOT need is more logos on the front.

I'd almost say better than a hideous moto fender, and it's not going break in a crash (like my Marz fender did this past weekend...hence the comparison)

Those things shine at speed...be it mass-produced or the inner-tube style. I'd say it grabs at least half of the mud that ususally sprays up at your face when you're at speed.

I thought this was gonna be an Atherton's thread?

we took it one step further here in the good ol AZ. Duct Tape works great for a fender. 3 pieces and no having to use a tube. The best part is that you can write on it with a sharpie and heckle your peers.

You should have a good stock pile by now

The bigger question is why in the hell you need a fender in Arizona?
Do the drunk indians do a raindance for ya?

Normally, you'd call that motocross.

Yup, I spoke with those guys last week and have one coming to try out in about a week. Will report back. Currently they only have 2 handcut prototypes in. First production run comes out around nov 15ish.

Yep, and even when it does rain we don't get real mud. More like wet grip tape, which is not quite as good as moist grip tape.
