STEP 4: Mounting rear fender:
Using two 12mm bolts (A) and
two washers (F), bolt the fender
stay to the outside of the
threaded eyelets on the frame.
Tighten to 35 Inlbs or 4 Nm.
Note for disc brakes: If you have
disc brakes, thread a 40mm bolt
(C) through the stay, then
through one of the cylindrical
spacers (H), and finally into the
eyelet of your frame (disc brake
side only). This should get the
stays clear of the brakes.

STEP 1: Confirm you have the correct size
fenders for your bike. If they do not
correspond, do not use the fenders.
Mounting front fender: Stick the 45mm bolt
(D) with washer (F) through the attached tab
on the front fender, then through the hole in
the fork crown. The tab should mount on the
front of the fork crown. Secure with lock
nut (G) and washer (F) while keeping the
fender centered over the tire. Tighten to 45
Inlbs or 5.1 Nm.
Note: Attaching the tab to the back side of
the fork is acceptable if it improves fit.
STEP 2: Your fenders come with Release Tabs on
the front fender that are designed to release the
fender stays from the fork if debris becomes
lodged in between tire and fender. Using the 12mm
bolts (A) and washers (F), bolt the Release
tab/Stay Assembly to the outside of the threaded
eyelets on your fork (use lower eyelets if you have
two per side). Tighten to 20 Inlbs or 2.3 Nm.
Note for disc brakes: If you have disc brakes,
thread a 40mm bolt (C) through the Release
tab/Stay Assembly, then through one of the
cylindrical spacers (H), and finally into the eyelet of
your fork (disc brake caliper side only). This
should get the stays clear of the brakes.
STEP 3: Front fender adjustment: Loosen the 10mm
nuts that attach the stays to the front 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. You may have to adjust
the height of the tab mounted to the fork crown (see
step 1) to achieve this clearance. 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. Check for toe overlap by placing one foot on
the pedal positioned at the most forward position.
Turn the front wheel. If the tire or fender hits your
foot we do not recommend using these fenders.
