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.
