Mudguard extension Ass Savers Brotector Regular

A mudguard extension designed for standard curved full mudguards.

• Dimensions: 86 × 380 mm
• Weight: 21 g
• Material: 80% recycled polypropylene

Fit

Fits all standard curved full mudguards. Aluminium or steel mudguards are preferable, as some plastic mudguards can be difficult to drill.

Prefolding

As with all Ass Savers products, do not overlook prefolding. The center fold makes the extension more stable, while the backwards “smiley” fold helps provide better protection and makes it more resistant to damage from contact with the ground.

Mounting

You need to drill two holes in the mudguard to fit the extension. Hold it in position to choose the desired height. The closer it is to the ground, the better the protection, but make sure it will not catch on kerbs or uneven terrain.

Drill the holes along the centerline of the mudguard, 25 mm apart. Take care to align them correctly. Use a sharp pin tool to make a dent at each drilling point so the drill does not wander and the holes end up in the right positions. Use a 5 mm drill bit for the holes. After drilling, you can carefully turn a 10 mm drill bit by hand to smooth any sharp edges.

Place the extension on the inside of the mudguard. From the outside, thread the cable tie through the upper hole in the mudguard and extension, then return it through the lower hole and close it. Pull the extension firmly against the mudguard.

If there is enough space between the tyre and mudguard, you can thread the cable tie from the inside of the mudguard. This hides the cable tie head.

Two nuts, bolts and washers can also be used as an alternative for a more permanent attachment. These are not included.
