Full details
The BBB Cycling FlexFender BFD-31 is a lightweight, durable polypropylene fender designed for mountain bikes, offering versatile front or rear protection against mud and debris. Its key benefit lies in its robust construction and added coverage for fork stanchions and frame, ensuring rider and bike protection. A minor caveat is its reliance on included straps for mounting, which may require adjustment for a perfect fit on all fork/frame types.

Troubleshooting
Fender is loose or rattles
Ensure all 4 mounting straps are tightened securely. Re-position the fender to find a tighter fit and re-tighten the straps.
Fender doesn't offer enough coverage
Adjust the fender's angle and position. For front use, ensure it's close to the tire without rubbing. For rear use, experiment with mounting higher or lower on the seat stays.
Straps are difficult to secure
Ensure straps are routed correctly through the fender's eyelets. If straps feel too short for your specific frame/fork, consider using alternative longer zip-ties or Velcro straps (not included).
