HARDWARE IDENTIFICATION
The rear fender can be identified by the mounting tab with a slotted hole located on one end of the fender. (Fig. 5)
- Cup washer and M6x5mm spacer identification. (Fig. 6 & 7)
FRAME PREPARATION
The mounting points for the fender struts may need to be cleared of excess paint left over from the manufacturing process.
The residual paint will make it difficult to thread the mounting bolts into their respective points.
This will cause inaccurate torque readings when attempting to tighten the bolts to their specified torque value.
Use the M6x1.0mm tap to clear the residual paint out of the mounting points in the rear dropouts. (Fig. 8)
TOOL REQUIRED
- M6x1.0mm Tap
- Use the M5x0.8mm tap to clear the residual paint out of the mounting points in the fork dropouts. (Fig. 9)
TOOL REQUIRED
- M5x0.8mm Tap
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
FRONT FENDER
Remove the front wheel from the fork on the bicycle. Locate the fender attachment points on the Front Fender Mounting Strut and position them along the horizontal bar of the strut.
Place the cup washers onto the threaded ends hollow side down. (Fig. 6 & 7)
- Locate the two holes drilled side by side on one end of the fender. These are the mounting holes for the strut.
- Insert the threaded portion of the fender attachment points through the holes in the fender.
- Take note of the orientation of the strut such that the frame mount points (looped ends) of the strut are angled forward. (Fig. 8)

- Apply the medium-strength thread locker to the M5 x10mm Button Head Allen Bolts as per the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Insert the bolt through the looped end of the strut and thread the bolt into the threaded hole located behind the wheel axle on the dropout of the fork.
(Fig 17.) Tighten to 4Nm. (Fig. 18) Reinstall the front wheel and check the alignment of the fender. The front fender installation is completed. For fine- tuning of the fender, proceed to page 20.
HARDWARE/ TOOL REQUIRED
- M5 X 10mm Button Head Bolt (X2)
- 4mm Hex Bit

REAR FENDER
- Remove the rear wheel from the bicycle. To facilitate removal of the rear wheel, loosen the IS mount bolts on the brake caliper. Remove the aft most bolt completely and push the caliper upwards. (Fig. 20 & 21)
- Thread the bolt back into the IS mount and allow the caliper to rest on the brake mount. (Fig, 22 & 23) This will keep the brake caliper out of the way of the brake rotor during the wheel removal.
TOOL REQUIRED
- 5mm Hex Bit

FRONT FENDER TUNING
FRONT FENDER
Take measurements of the front edge of the fender to the centreline of the tire. (Fig. 39)Take a measurement of the rear edge of the fender to the centreline of the tire. (Fig. 40) These measurements should be as equal as possible to within a tolerance of 2-3mm.
The optimal distance for the front fender from the tire should be 15-18mm. If the measurements are not equal, please follow the following steps to ensure that the fenders are installed safely.
FRONT FENDER (Fig. 39) Measure the front edge of the fender to the centreline of the tire.
(Fig. 40) Measure the rear edge of the fender to the centreline of the tire.
The change in the bend angle of the strut will adjust the fender spacing from the tire.
Decreasing the bend angle will bring the rear of the fender closer to the tire and the front away from the tire. (Fig. 41)
Whereas increasing the bend angle will bring the rear of the fender away from the tire and the front of the fender closer. (Fig. 42)
- Remove the strut mounting bolts. (Fig 43)
- Using one hand, brace the strut above the bend. With the free hand push the end of the strut to decrease the bend angle of the strut (Fig. 44) or pull it away to increase the bend angle.
NOTE
- Ensure both sides of the strut are adjusted to the same angle. If the angles are inconsistent, the fenders will form an unnatural twist. After the adjustments have been made and the struts have been bolted to the dropouts, use a ruler to take the measurement from the center of the tire to the bottom of the edge. (Fig. 41 & 42)
- If the measurements are equal and between the 15mm to 18mm range, the adjustment is complete.
