Mucky Nutz, MugGuard, Black, Long

I'm really pleased with this fender, consider it a big upgrade. Testing conditions: i primarily commute to work on the road with occasional dirt paths. I ride rain or shine, 20-28 miles each way. I waited to review this until I'd gone through both standing puddles and downpour conditions. 26x1.75 commuting tires. My previous front fender was right up against the crown of the fork, had a mounting system that used compression inside the fork. It never stayed put properly, tended to wiggle from side to side... and when I re-ran my brake cable it got pushed out of true and refused entirely to remain where it was supposed to. Its placement high up against the crown meant that while it did protect me from the worst of the spray getting me in the face, but even against puddles it didn't protect my feet from water off the tires. This one is placed under the bridge, not up under the crown. My first clue that this was going to be a better fender was riding through a small runoff stream over pavement - not a drop hit my feet. Riding in the rain was another pleasant surprise - the lower placement means it does a FAR better job keeping the spray off my feet and nothing gets up to my face even when riding in heavy rain. I mean, heavy rain will get your feet from above anyway, but at least this fender's placement isn't contributing to it! Its mounting system - Velcro straps (wish they'd had just a little more than they gave me) and side-wing mounts to secure it to the fork - means that it will not meander from side to side while I ride. If it proves to be as durable as it is effective and if it keeps up the good work this winter (I still ride in the snow), I've got a real winner!

I trim these front fenders and use them as a rear fenders on two of my Trek eMTBs (Rail and Fuel EXe). These are long enough to keep mud from flinging onto the bike’s suspension (pivots and rear shock) and your lower backside (pants and below). It will not protect your back if you ride in the rain or wet mud, but it’s good enough that I keep them on year round.

Fenders on that come bikes these days never seem to actually stop mud/water/road dirt splashing up and onto the rider/bike, which makes them essentially pointless. If it only stops 80% of the splash, I still get muddy. This replaces the hotch-potch front fender I had rigged on my bike, using the supplied front and rear fenders combined, with a piece of plastic packing to fill the gap between. I bought a separate rear fender which works perfectly. That didn't stop 100% of splash, kept working loose, and looked odd. This was very quick to fit (velcro straps I cut to length), fits on my front suspension forks perfectly, and is lightweight, unobtrusive and quiet. I'd have liked it to be about 6" longer at the back for extra protection, but it is what it is. I have found nothing else that looks half as likely as this to keep me clean.

Exactly what I was looking for! Installed super easy on my hunting mtb ebike 27.5 x 2.35 tire. A little pricey compared to some others, but worth the money and covers way more of tire.

The part arrived on time, but in a plastic bag. It was bent out of shape and twisted. Luckily I could straighten it with my wife’s hair drier. You would think for a way over priced item you would ship it in a box. Looks like it will work fine, but zip ties will probably be replacing the Velcro soon. If I knew how thin and cheap this was, I would have never bought it👎

Very Nice fender but didn't fit my Lauf gravel bike. It was a long shot to try but didn't pan out. Will have to return it but doesn't change the fact it was a nice fender.

I recently purchased this bike front tire mudguard, and I must say, the quality is top-notch. The material feels durable, and the design effectively keeps mud and water from splashing onto me while riding. The sleek look also adds a nice touch to my bike's aesthetics. However, I was disappointed to find that the package did not include the velcro straps necessary for installation. This oversight made it challenging to securely attach the mudguard to my bike. While I was able to improvise with some spare straps I had at home, it would have been more convenient if the product came with everything needed for installation. Despite this setback, I'm pleased with the performance of the mudguard itself. It does exactly what it's supposed to do, and I haven't experienced any issues with it while riding through wet or muddy terrain. If the manufacturer addresses the missing straps in future shipments, I would highly recommend this product to other cyclists looking for reliable front tire protection.

Seems to keep the muck off areas of the bike. As fall and winter weather approaches, will see how the fenders hold up. Easy installation with zip ties, as the Velcro would fall off. $$$ but worth the protection.

Had to get a bit crafty with some snips to make it clear thr chainstays on my Norco but it fits well on a 29 x 2.6 tire, shields me from most of the mud and muck of the ground and the bike really well

Tengo el corto y el largo y ambos los he probado. Los acabados son buenos y el material es flexible pero resistente. Los he utilizado en todo tipo de terrenos y condiciones y puedo decir que una vez colocado, el guardabarros de Mucky Nutz se queda donde está y no se mueve. Si quieres acertar con un guardabarros para una bici de montaña, este es el tuyo.

This has been doing a good job of keeping the muck off my face. It stops the spray coming off the top of the tire on wet roads at high speeds. Must use cable ties to secure it. The Velcro strips won’t get it tight enough so that it will stay aligned right on the trails. One thing I don’t like is that the extra length out front makes it incompatible with some car racks that secure the bike on top of the front tire.

Seems like good quality and they were easy to mount. Best fenders regarding clearance that I’ve had so far (have had velo orange, merida etc). No rustling. Perfect for my work horse trek xcaliber 8. Only weak point I can imagine is the round locking mechanism which goes at the stays, they seem too weak. Maybe metal part would be more viable there?

For a universal mud guard they fit perfectly and do a great job
