Mucky Nutz, MUG GUARDS


The MugGuard is available in both 400mm and 600mm lengths. They fit 26 inch, 27.5 inch and 29 inch wheels with tires up to three inches wide. It's a must have to keep yourself and your bike caked with dirt while out on the muddy trails or roads. Is secured in place by Velcro or you can use zip ties as well.






Winter riding is just around the corner. Trails might be muddy.  Rule of thumb is, if your tires leave a mark, don’t ride on the trail. However, if you ride muddy roads of course you’ll want to avoid getting sprayed with mud or water, not only keeping you clean but your bike as well. 

Mucky Nutz, MUG GUARDS are just what you’re needing. These work on 26, 27 1/2  and 29 inch wheels. They work with boosted forks and tires up to 3 inches wide. The tread on your tire is going to grab on to the mud,  dirt or gravel and fling it around, The MUG GUARD will keep it from hitting you or your bike. They come in two lengths, 400 mm and 600 mm.   The 400mm or short MUG GUARD weighs in at 75 grams, with the Long MUG GUARD weighing in at 105 grams.  They help keep mud out of your forks stanchions.  They attach very easily to the bridge and fork of your bike. 


They come with re-usable Velcro to make them easy to put on and take off not only for cleaning but for transportation if needed. Each fender comes with 40 inches of Velcro. I cut into two 5 inch pieces, I use on the top, securing it to the forks bridge, and two 10 inch pieces to either side, going down the fork. They can also be attached using zip ties if you want to do it that way too and you see them being used or a longer period of time.

Mucky Nutz ---- Face and Butt Fenders




The Mucky Nutz Face Fender, mounts on your front fork. It measures 8 1/4 inches long and narrows in width from 5 1/2 to 3 1/4 inches and weights only 25 grams. The Face Fender comes with a roll of micro hook and loop (Velcro) 34 inches long by a half inch wide, to create straps out of. If you evenly cut the strip of Velcro you could make four, 8 1/2 inch strips. There are eight cut outs on the Face Fender that the Velcro straps will loop through. A strap on each side, both left and right on the fork and two straps wrap around the fork’s bridge. With the Face Fender mounted under the fork bridge, there is still enough clearance for your tire to still roll smoothly. The Face Fender keeps mud and dirty, or whatever may be on the trail, from being slung in your face or thrown at your bikes frame. Being mounted below your exposed shocks, it too keeps whatever mud or dirt would be thrown on them away. They stay put and are very solid once attached and don’t rattle or shake around.  So with the Face Fender protecting the front end of your bike, Mucky Nutz has just the answer for also protecting you on the back end too. The Butt Fender! 









The width of the Butt Fender tapers from 5 1/4 inches wide to 3 1/4 inches wide. The length of the fender is about 12 inches long, some of this length gets taken away as it attached under the seat.  It mounts without any added accessories as the Butt Fender mounts with the pre-made hooks that attach to the underside of your seat, with the seat rails. It weighs only 30 grams. There are two creases in the fender you can bend to create more of a curve or square out the flat piece of thermoplastic polymer which has a highly resistant to heat. 

With both the Face and Butt Fenders being made of the plastic, they can easily be washed off of the mud and dirt the trails throw at you.
After mounted on the bike seat, the Butt Fender ends up sticking out behind the seat about eight inches.  

When the trail is dry, these light weight and flat profile Mucky Nutz fenders have a place in my mountain bike pack, right next to an extra tube. If the wet or nasty weather moves in while I am riding, they can simply be attached and the ride can continue.  

Check them out and order a set before the winter rains arrive and turn your trails into muddy messes.

The Orange Mud Transition and Seat Wrap

Don't be caught in the buff switching out of your bathing suit or sweaty clothes. Orange Mud has a solution before getting charged with indecent exposure, and an added bonus for keeping your car clean.  Sure, the towel can be used to dry off, but then attach it around your waist to change clothes. The Transition and Seat Wrap measures 30 inches by 60 inches and is 100% cotton.  A convenient belt clip assures the towel will stay wrapped around your body and fits athletes big or small (pretty much waist sizes 22 inches to 54 inches) allowing you to change out of your wet or dirty clothes.  No more towels tucked into your waist, only waiting for it to fall off while you change in front of others. The towel comes in 9 other colors besides Orange, so everyone in the family can get their own.  If you are sweaty from out running or wet from a lap swim session and forgot to bring a change of clothes (been there, done that) the towel transforms into a seat cover for your vehicle. Simply zip the zipper and drape over your cars headrest. The towel stays in place and keeps your cars interior clean. The Transition and Seat Wrap comes along to the pool inside my swim bag.
