Custom Colours Mudflap

Pack's Contents

Sizes

The flaps come in 11 different sizes, five front, five back and one for both:

Although they are called front and back, they don't have to be used in those positions. The cone shaped, shorter "front" flaps are designed to catch water over a wider horizontal area and help protect your feet. They are also wider at the top than the back flaps so that when attached they take on the curve of the mudguard and are more rigid. The "back" flaps are narrow at the top (bottle shaped) so they are deliberately less rigid when attached and won't break or distort your mudguard if it gets bent backwards. There is also a longer cone shaped flaps (not available in all designs) which is standard width and can be used at the front or back.

Your Choice of flap width should be based on the width of your mudguards. It's the width at the top that is different to suit different width mudguards:

Mudguard Width	Front Flap	Back Flap
less than 35mm	Narrow	Narrow, Standard or Long
35-45mm	Standard or Long	Standard, Cone Shaped or Long
45-55mm	Wide	Wide or Long
more than 55mm	Extra Wide	Extra Wide

Back flaps are designed to work with mudguards that come half way down your back wheel i.e. finish at the same level as the hub. For shorter mudguards such as SKS Race Blades, there is the Long back flap, which is 5cm longer than the standard length.

To decide on your back flap length you should measure the distance from the end of your flap to the floor (as in the bike diagram below) and refer to this table (which is based on a 700c wheel with 25mm tyre):

End of flap to floor	Back Flap to Buy	Effective Flap Length
less than 380mm	Standard, Narrow, Wide or Cone	198mm or 218mm
380mm or more	Long	248mm
