Mucky Nutz Face Fender Black/Orange, One Size

I use heavier fenders on my hardtails, but I needed fenders for my FS SJ w/a dropper. have the Mucky Nutz full length on my front. LOVE it. Looks good, keeps the debris out of my face and eyes--a must have.I put the Mucky Nutz rear flap hooked to my seat (which you can see in the second pic a little if you look closely). THAT one works ok. Doesn't really keep mud and gunk off you the way my hefty fenders do on my HTs, but it WAS a noticeable improvement over NOT having one, and with a dropper post there really aren't many other options.So I thought adding another to the seatstay part of my rear suspension would catch some of the junk that gets away from the seat flap, AND keep some more of the junk off of the suspension and the shock. Well it worked out ok. Definitely less gunk (or "muck") on my frame the last 2 rides I used it on. I see other FS bikes with these "front" fenders in that position but FS bikes vary so much in their suspension design that I didn't know which one would fit. I went with this one because it would match my other two rather than just put a generic black one. I THOUGHT I was going to have to cut it to fit it, but this thing fit in there perfect. There's very little space to zip-tie on this part of an FSR Stumpjumper the way the carbon is molded in that spot, but this things holes for the zip-ties were in a perfect spot to give me a tight fit. You CAN always use the velcro tape they supply you with (which is nice that they do that), but zip tying gives you a tighter and more permanent installation.They're not a weak flimsy material despite being so flexible. Once they're bent into position they're very firm and sturdier than they look in the pic's.If you haven't installed one of these before, here are a few tips:-Set the fender in the general place you'll want it. Bend it and tuck it in there.-Assume where you'll be wrapping the zip ties and maybe thread them through the fender FIRST.-Wrap the ties around the frame or fork stabilizer and pull them through so they're still a bit loose and the fender can be re-positioned.-Get the fender now EXACTLY where you want it and start pulling the zip ties tight.-Use a set of small pliers to get a very firm grip on the ties (be CAREFUL not to scratch your frame, especially if it's a carbon bike).-Hold the cable tie head firmly while pulling the serration with the pliers. If you do this firmly to each tie, you'll have a snug fit that will not loosen up or change position when tearing it up on the trail. Just use a very sharp and small wire cutter to snip the excess right at the cable tie head and you'll also have a clean look. I try to put these on so the cable tie head won't be visible and it looks even better that way.-You can always get cable ties that match the color of your frame if you'd like.~JSV
