Tube fenders and trail wear
Tubular fender designs are built to take impacts from brush and rock, but they still need care. The tubes can trap mud and grit near the mounts, which can cause rust if left wet. Rinse the underside after mud runs and look at the welds and mount points for cracks or loose bolts.
If the flare is part of the fender, check that the edges are not rubbing the tire on articulation, especially after a lift. Powder coat resists chips well, but touch-up paint helps at cut and drilled areas. Fasteners can back off with vibration, so re-check them after the first few outings.
- Rinse mud from mounts after trail use
- Touch up chips at cut and drilled areas
- Check the fender edges for rubbing after suspension work
