Portland Design Works Mud Shovel 6.5 Fender, Front Fender

Very effective at keeping the crud off of me today. My shoes were really the only things that got dirty, and only when turning enough that the front tire could spray beyond what this guard would otherwise catch. This was combined with the rear seat post fender and they make a very effective combo for 'mud season' here in NW Montana. Still waiting for the fork fender ... it hasn't arrived yet, but I think the 3 of them combined will make an effective defense against the wet sloppy stuff. I'd suggest they design something for the seat tube - that'd be awesome! My seat tube/bb/crank area got pretty filthy today. Overall very satisfied - clever design, weighs almost nothing, yet is rigid and stable and shouldn't break if/when I ever crash. Easy on, easy off. Awesome!

It does as advertised and keeps mud and water from spraying all over your front side while riding. I've combined mine with the mud shovel fenders front and back for added coverage. The straps to secure it to the frame work well and hold tight without any movement even riding through the most technical trails. The buttons are also a nice way to connect to the straps and is easily removed for cleaning and transport. Definitely will recommend to my fat biking buddies but after they see this thing I think it will speak for itself.

These work well at keeping spray from the front tire from hitting you. Keeps you cleaner and drier, and protects your high dollar eye protection. Sturdier than I thought.

Cool design. Easy to install and uninstall if you want. Snaps are solid and robust. Straps are too. I Had to trim this thing down. I bought the camo one and it was half the size. This one was waaaaay too big, but I just traced out the other one over it and imrgood now. I ended up trimming a little more to customize it which is pretty advantageous. I like that ability to alter it with a pair of scissors. It is basically. Thin piece of plastic. It’s flexible and I love the concept. We’ll see if it lasts

Bought for a 50 mile fatbike ride in the rain. Worked great! Its easy to DIY something similar, which Ive done in the past, but for the price its not really worth it. This one is easy to take on and off which makes it worthwhile.I have the matching rear fender which has been used for hundreds of miles over the past year with no issues.Good products

Clasp on mine wasn’t the most secure.. easily blew off in a cross wind. Ordering another in case it was simply a manufacturing error as they’re relatively cheap.

After allowing a day for rolled up fender to straighten, it installed easily and has held up well on trails. The customer service is spot on, and while it looks flimsy, it's a tough thin plastic that won't rip or tear. it has snap on clips that will probably release before breaking. The rubber attachment belts are rather thick, and even if they would fail, which will happen eventually, zip ties may just remedy this when they fail. Good product for price point, installs easily and appears built to last a while. Recommend.

The best fender! I like this mud shovel more than I like my bike. It's very effective in a critical spot being on the down tube. For sizing my bike is a 17" frame and had plenty of room to adjust it up and down my tube out of the box. Pedals and feet wont come close to hitting or kicking it. Once you install it your like wow great design and it is.
