Make sure you have the correct (RX) Topeak rack for this to go on. I have an explorer rack, wasn’t paying attention, and bought this. Obviously it doesn’t fit on the rack. However, you can screw it into most of the standard size threaded holes on your mountain bike. I attached it to the U at the top of my seat stays and it actually does a commendable job at keeping extra muck off of me. I was surprised at how small it is… it ranges from 1.25 inches wide to 1.75 inches wide and is about 6 ……

If you’ve ever ridden a bike in the rain or in the mud you know why fenders are necessary. Before I attached this fender to my bike my backside would be drenched in even the lightest drizzle. Now I can ride through the largest puddle and barely feel a drop. I’m very happy

Warning: if you have a rear cargo rack or rear brake wires that meet behind your seat post, you will not be able to use this type of fender.

The mount was easy enough but the fender could not hold its weight as soon as i hit a slight bump the fender hit the rear wheel and the plastic cracked.
……

The basic concept of this fender is simple and straightforward: right out of the package, it will easily attach to any seat pole without the use of tools for quick and easy installation. It uses friction applied by a leather-lined strip of nylon webbing (much like a seatbelt) tightened against the seat pole.



The failure is in the tightening mechanism. The webbing needs to be fed into the turn post, which you then tighten by hand before locking into place. The final tension comes from ……

This is a great product. It was really easy to put on my bike, as well as take off, so that’s a great feature of this product. You don’t have to leave it on your bike all the time when the weather’s good. Also, it’s a

good price for a fender.
……

this fender could barely support its own weight, often dropping and scraping the top of my rear tire almost like a baseball in the spokes of a bike. when it wasn’t moving out of position vertically, it would rotate laterally & scrape the sides of my rear tire. fastens to the frame well enough not to fall off (which would have been desirable) but not well enough to stay in position. i bought a replacement within a month because this fender worked so poorly.
