I found the install to be straightforward; whereas soft, saddle-mounted fenders just feel like a token-but-ineffective solution to wet rides, the Win Wing feels confidently made and well thought out.

If you like to keep it attached to your bike permanently, the Win-Wing can be secured to your bike with a standard zip tie, through a designated slot, making it easier to resist for people with sticky fingers. We’ve all had a chunk of gravel get wedged in the tire’s side knobs, only to knock into the chainstays upon rotation. While riding on pavement and dirt, I wasn’t able to detect any movement in the Wishbone mount itself, with the Blade scarcely moving either. These three middle holes give you the option to adjust the angle of the mudguard according to the angle of your seatstays.If you've got a bike that just won't take mudguards, or you want a guard that you can pop on your best bike for the occasional damp solo ride, the Win Wing is for you. The result is a fork mounted front mudguard with an unobtrusive design and unsurpassed efficiency when it comes to keeping your face free from dirt. As you can see in several of these photos, the bike I was testing it on happens to have mounts at just the wrong place on the seat stays.

DURABILITY: Win Wing has beend designed with emphasis on sophisticated simplicity and careful choice of materials, making it virtually indestructible. I tried it on a different bike the next day, and moving it a little lower seemed minimize forward spray, although conditions weren’t nearly as wet. Established in 1992, Ison Distribution Ltd has long been established as an outstanding distributor of high quality bicycles, parts and accessories.We have made the Win Wing as kind to your bike as possible with soft rubber feet that gently hugs your frame. The new Sweden-made Ass Savers Win Wing is an ultralight clip-on mudguard that’s unlike any others we’ve seen. It’s a winter-conditions no-brainer for multi-terrain riding, if you want a minimalist gravel bike mudguard for rear-end protection. As such, I’ve never felt the need to outfit any of my bikes with permanent fenders, though they do lend a certain utilitarian panache to a classic skinny-tubed steel steed, imo. We have yet again rewritten the rules of fender design with our new, ultra-lightweight, clip-on performance mudguard – the radical Win Wing.

With conditions like the above a full mudguard is just a wheel seized with mud and having to clear the frame of mud with a stick or carry the bike moment. We believe travel by bicycle has the power to encourage conservation, inclusivity, and respect for all people and cultures.The secret to transforming a flat piece of plastic into a functioning mudguard lies in the pre-folding prior to use. Each of these options changes the angle of the wing and enables bikes of varying sizes to achieve the correct angle. And as if that wasn't enough, we even listened to your feedback and bowed down to the most common request about the Win Wing 1 - Make it black! It’s worth adding that each strap has seven holes and is long enough to accommodate thin steel stays or thicker carbon and aluminum designs.

However, with the rotational direction and the fact that the straps act as flexible suspension for the Wishbone, I don’t see it being an issue, and I haven’t had any problems with it after several very rough dirt road and gravel rides. The purpose of the MUDDER Regular is to keep your eyes muck-free as you go full speed down that dirtbag of a trail that you love so much. I know I should fit proper guards and I do own some, but as I have a couple of bikes which I'll use in these inclement seasons and as I'll put either bike onto the turbo and I put my bike in my boot once a week, convienience is king.The secret to transforming a flat piece of plastic into a functioning mudguard lies in the pre-folding prior to use. The glassfiber reinforced wishbone holder is both flexible and tough and the rubber straps are virtually indestructible.
