Fender for Totem

Zip tye a piece of an old tube from the crown to the arch. Works WAY better than traditional fenders.

Wow, that would be great if it worked. How does it prevent you from being blasted in the face from mud spinning up off your tire from the ground to the "fender"? I'm guessing it's in just the right place to prevent this, but I've never seen it in action.

Been running one of these on my totem over winter

Seems to work as well as the tube set up but doesnt look as naff

Haven't seen any production moto-style fenders for the totem, I would agree that the tube set up would be the best. Off topic, but look as the ruts in that picture!

That's what I was thinking about. I was gonna do a homemade version of that, like a Slurpee or Big Gulp cup cut and zip-tied on. But, I'll try the tube setup too since that's easy and I have tons of flat tubes around.

Thanks, guys!

The homemade inner tube works well. If you don't want to fuss with zip ties then RRP Neo guard works well.

There's also Crud Catcher and Fast Fender offered by Crud Products

Neoguard and a Crudcatcher on the down tube work well for the 365 mud bath that we get here in Scotland Seen a few guys get pulled up by the fashion police for running some of those new fender type guards though!

that and a down tub "THE" flare velcros on and keep it from coming straight up at you as well as protects the downtube.
The fork peice is great in combination, nothing like hauling and having a meteorite zing you in the old peephole! Talk about fun, watery eyes at speed or goggles covered in crud on a section where you cant clean em or even afford to take a hand off the bar LOL... I love this sport! :thumbsup:
The cut tube and zip ties works well in a pinch for the fork as a backup to the marketed one.

The best is a nice sticky set of tires and railing a granite pumice loose over hard, LOL its like a face full of BBs. except they arent round and sting like hell.

try building a fender on downtube too

That Bender Fender from Mucky Nutz has been getting some good reviews on the Euro forums and online magazines. Here's one review that I could find in english -

Looks like it'd be a more aero than the "vorskin" type guards and not quite as daft looking.

If you give a sheeet about how "DAFT" looking it is you're either not going fast enough or you're just a lil beetch
