Why Dublin Riders Trust It
Ireland’s weather can turn muddy quickly, especially on Wicklow’s forest tracks or Dublin’s canal towpaths. The Velo 65 Mudguard Set keeps spray off your face and bike’s suspension and drivetrain cleaner, reducing maintenance and improving ride comfort. Its secure mounting means it stays in place over roots, potholes, and gravel—ideal for commuters and trail riders alike.

Usage Recommendations
Mountain Biking & Trail Riding
Install the front fender to your fork crown and secure stays to lower legs; rear fender straps to seat tube and chainstays. Adjust stays so the guard sits just above the tyre treads. Ideal for Wicklow’s muddy singletrack: keeps dirt off your suspension pivots and drivetrain.
Commuting & All-Weather Rides
For daily Dublin commutes, mount both guards to protect your back and legs from spray on wet roads. The quick-release design lets you remove or fold away the front fender when roads dry up.
Bikepacking & Light Touring
On extended gravel or mixed-terrain tours, use the rear fender to shield your panniers and equipment from road grime. Its low profile avoids off-road snags while still deflecting most spray.
Cyclocross & Gravel Events
Though designed for mountain bikes, the Velo 65 set works on 29" cyclocross and gravel frames with adequate clearance. Fold the front guard back at start line and deploy when muddy sections appear.
Recommended Accessories & Complementary Items
-
Zip-Tie Reinforced Straps: Additional CR-202 straps for frames with non-standard tube shapes or routing.
-
Chainstay Protector Tape: Protects chainstay paint from strap abrasion; use along with fender installation.
-
Frame-Mounted Bike Light: Attach under rear fender’s reflector slot for extra visibility in low light.
-
Suspension Fork Brush: Clean fork stanchions of mud before installation to prevent scratching from fender stays.
-
Compact Multi-Tool: Adjust stay bolts and reposition guards quickly when conditions change.
-
Seat-Post Reflector: Clip-on reflector for rear fender worst-case scenarios—boost visibility into Dublin’s evening commutes.
Tips & Tricks
-
Check Clearance: After initial install, spin wheels to confirm no rubbing. Adjust stay arms so the fender clears both sidewalls by at least 5 mm.
-
Use Light Grease: Apply a small dab of silicone grease to strap contact points to prevent squeaking in wet conditions.
-
Fold-Away Front Guard: When roads dry, simply flip the front blade up and secure with the release tab—no need to remove entirely.
-
Trim Excess Strap: After tightening, cut off extra length of Velcro strap and secure the tail with a zip-tie to avoid flapping.
-
Periodic Cleaning: After muddy rides, remove fenders and rinse with fresh water; allow to dry fully before reinstalling to prevent mildew.
-
Inspect Hardware: Check stay bolts and strap tension every 100 km—vibration on rough Dublin roads can loosen mounts over time.
