Mounting Instructions
STEP 5
: Attach front end of
fender to chain-stay bridge
using bolt (A) and washer (F)
or zip tie (I). If no chain stay
bridge is present, fasten
fender to the bottom of the
seat tube, just above the
bottom bracket, with a zip tie.
STEP 7
: Rear fender adjustment:
Loosen the 10mm nuts that attach the stays to
the rear fender and position the fender so that
it conforms to the curvature of the tire without
rubbing. Make sure you have a minimum of 5
millimeters of clearance between the tire and
fender. Tighten the nuts snugly, but don’t use
all of your strength or you risk breaking the
hardware. Tighten to 30 Inlbs or 3.4 Nm.

STEP 6
: Install rubber shim (J) onto metal clip (E)
making sure the rubber wraps around the edges of
the metal clip completely. Bolt the metal clip to the
brake bridge using the 25mm bolt (B), washer (F),
and lock nut (G). Tighten to 45 Inlbs or 5.1Nm. With
rear fender centered over the tire, bend the metal clip
over the top contour of the fender. Then with a pliers
crimp the four tabs (two on each side) around the
edges of the fender. Be sure tabs hold fender in place
securely. If there is less that 5mm of clearance
between the clip and the tire, do not use the fenders.
