Review on 🚴 Stay Clean on the Trail: Syncros Trail Fender Ensures Ultimate Protection by Jason Childs

Fits perfectly on my 2019 Factory 36 (we want big tires when riding in the mud). First I tried mounting it with my largest tire (Minion DHF 3.0 which compresses very tight but is too big) and the fender was rubbing against it. But with a more appropriate big tire like a 2.6, the ground clearance is adequate. Another minor complaint is that the side cut around the posts is too big than necessary. This leaves room for mud and water to hit the face, although due to the low angle this rarely happens when the tires are just enough at speed. Everything else I would like to note is all positive. Easy to assemble with high quality hardware, pre-locked threads, with one tool. The fit and alignment is good, the final tightening position is firm, straight and without deformation. The material looks like the right mix of just tough enough to hold its shape but flexible enough to take a few hits at this stage. I have a long travel 36er mounted on a 2019 Specialized Enduro S-Works frame and when the fork is fully compressed the fender end is about 3/4" from the down tube. This fender replaces the velcro by a Mucky Nutz which offered a bit more coverage and also included a small leading edge, but I was really fed up with this type of fender moving, getting lost (especially in wet conditions or in a bike rack) and tire shrinkage.
