A sleek, minimal rear mudguard designed specifically to clamp onto your bike's lower seat stays using standard zip-ties. This style of fender provides critical, close-proximity protection for lower frame linkages, suspension pivots, and mid-drive e-bike motors where standard seatpost-mounted fenders don't block the splatter.

Originally designed around a 27.5" mountain bike frame with 2.1" wide tires, it fits comfortably over tires up to 2.4" wide.

Available Variations Included:

  • Standard Short Version: The original sleek profile optimized for compact protection.

  • Long Version (MudGuardLong.stl): A longer extension profile created by community request to provide extended spray shielding further down the frame line.

Real-World Material Longevity Testing:

  • Initial Print (PCTG): Worked well initially but began to exhibit minor cracking along the layer lines after roughly 6 months of hard, vibratory trail riding.

  • Current Recommendation (Nylon): Upgraded and reprinted in solid Nylon. The material properties provide much higher impact flex and completely resolved any layer splitting issues.

Print & Customization Settings:

  • Orientation: Print the fender standing vertically with a steady outer brim (10-12mm wide) to secure it safely to the build plate without risking toppling.

  • Supports: None required.
