SKS GERMANY Mud-X Downtube Bicycle Fender

Bought this with the rear seat tube clamp-on mudgaurd. Worked great. Very light and handy to install.

Purchased this for my fat tire bike to keep mud and snow off of me and my bottles. It seems to be made of good quality plastic with little flex. The included bands barely fit my frame, but I was able to stretch them and make them work. I've only ridden once in the snow with it installed but it seems to keep it from flinging debris back. I feel it's worth the price.

This fender works as advertised. It is a good option for bikes on which it is hard to fit a front fender. The rubber straps are easy to install on a variety of down tube shapes. The rubber straps also make is easy to adjust the positioning of the fender as well. The functionality of the fender is limited to the spray that gets around the down tube. If the front wheel is turned in any way, the fender will not stop the spray off the front tire. I also found that in a heavier rain, more water adheres to the front tire and releases later in the tire's rotation .. spraying the face of the rider. For road biking, I don't think you stay any drier with this fender in steady rain. I can see it, however, being a big help riding through slush, mud, wet sand, or any other type of crud.

Super easy to install. Easy to remove when I clean my bicycle. Exactly as described on the advertisement. And, of course, way cheaper than at a bicycle shop! It is easy to remove mud and dust. And wide enough to catch the splashing of mud and water. And it looks amazingly cool. I receive a lot of compliments. I ride on a lot of flat trails, it weighs like nothing. I highly recommend.

I got this MudX today with a rough idea on how and where I wanted to mount it on my Jeep AWD mountain bike. I tried to mount it using the rubber straps that came with the item on the bike, but they were too flimsy for my liking. So I picked up 2 fatteners of the same type except longer, getting 2 stainless steel washers too. After a rough fitting of the MudX, I got my Dremel and smoothed out the 2 lower mounting holes. Putting some thread lock on the threads, I tightened them down snuggly. I’ll spray paint the fasteners with rust-preventing bed liner as soon as I can. This project turned out better than I expected. This MudX isn’t going to wiggle off; the rubber straps, hook, and loop straps are too lightweight for me. This MudX isn’t a great addition to my Christini Jeep mountain bike, keeping my water bottle and front derailleur clean and dry. I am very happy with all the SKS products I have bought and this MudX isn’t no exception!

I needed something to protect my Bafang Mid Drive Motor from dirt/mud/splashing etc. Although this is initially for regular bikes it fits perfectly around the bottom of my Ebike frame, also included pictures to show. The straps fit slim and can fit though tiny slots nicely! A perfect shield 🛡 I couldn't asked for anything better. Perfect for Ebike frame. 👍

Very easy to install, will work on a wide range of bikes due to design. I have a bike with an incredibly thick carbon top tube, and it still fits perfectly. I'm not sure why people think this is too small - a lot of mountain bikes use one MUCH smaller than this. If you want a full front fender, then get a full front fender. This is not a fender, it is a mud guard - different thing. Fenders are meant to completely contain water at the tire, and have practically zero clearance. They have to be very carefully installed if you want to get the best performance. Mud guards like this are basically just a cheap piece of plastic that keeps 80-90% of the spray off you. It's MUCH better than nothing, and it can be taken on and off in a matter of seconds, whereas a real fender requires like 10 minutes and tools.

Mounted easily on my touring bike. No noticeable interference with my pedals or my down tube shift cables. Haven't ridden in rain yet to judge it's effectiveness but looks like it will do just fine. Hopefully the rubber mounting straps will stand the test of time. Update:Oct 2017, downgrading to 3 stars While on a tour I rode over three hours in a heavy rain storm. Also used it on the GAPCO where I had to trek through 30 miles of puddles and mud. From those experiences I can tell you this fender's effectiveness is limited at best. In fact, during heavy rain, any time I turned the bike the fender dumped the rain wash directly onto my bike shoes. The fender is good for keeping the occasional crud off your frame (as long as the wheel is pointed straight), but don't buy it expecting it to keep you dry. I'll be in the market for full fenders before my next tour.

Fácil de instalar, excelente calidad y funcionalidad.

Compatible, il se fixe sans difficulté et est efficace !

Great mudguard, good shape, high quality rigid plastic which makes it strong and durable. The bolt holes didn't match up to the ones on my bike, but the included rubber fitting system worked just as well. The only downside is that the mud guard is easy to remove from the bike when using the rubbers which is an issue for me, As i am a city rider worried about theft. To help this i have added zipties through the elastics and mudguard threads to make it more of a pain for an opportunist theif.

これは簡単に脱着出来てなかなか良いです。雨の日も顔に跳ね上がりしないので、持っているMTB全てに付けました。

I've had this for about 18 months now. Despite the fact that I think it was intended for an MTB size wheel and a thin chromoly down tube, I gambled on using it with a fat aluminum frame and 29" wheels. While the downtube won't fit into the groove, this is not noticeable and doesn't seem to cause any problems. It does not slip or vibrate. It is less hassle than most fenders I've ever had. The two rubber straps hold it on very firmly (I don't think I've ever had to adjust them) and I am spared getting wet and dirty. It's also very simple to install. \O/
