ProGuard Rear - Cable Tie
The ProGuard is our amazing new range of FRONT and REAR mudguards for disc brake mountain bikes offering unmatched protection from mud and spray, it’s perfect for Trail, Enduro or Downhill racers and essential for the weekend warrior looking for the very best protection. Our design intent was to increase the tyre clearance, improve fit, and reduce the mud clogging issues seen with this type of mudguard. The ProGuard MINI REAR is primarily designed to protect your shock, linkages and bearings from getting hammered at high velocity from mud and spray off the back wheel, it’s not designed to protect the rest of the bike or the rider. There are multiple fitting options via snap-off holes and wide holes on the arms that allow for angle adjustment for various seatstay configurations.

The ProGuard range of mudguards have a soft high gloss finish which is a characteristic of our highly polished mold and our special polypropylene mix, this unique mix has been specifically blended for:
- COLD WEATHER STRENGTH
- HIGH IMPACTS
- HIGH FLEXIBILITY
- HIGH DURABILITY
As a result of achieving the above properties it means that the surface layer is soft and will scratch easily, you must also be careful about putting any chemicals onto the surface as it may tarnish the finish. That said we have tested and can recommend the following chemicals to use:
Silicone - Spray high quality silicone onto surface and very gently remove with a clean cloth to maintain a high gloss finish and to stop dirt and water from sticking.
Bike cleaner – Non caustic bike cleaners can be used on the ProGuard mudguard
GT85/WD40/Solvents - Only rub these on the surface if you want to remove the gloss and display a matte finish to match your bike.
NB: REMEMBER – ADD ANY STICKERS BEFORE YOU USE ANY OF THE ABOVE CHEMICALS ON THE MUDGUARD OR THEY WILL NOT STICK
The ProGuard - REAR mudguard is designed to help protect your shock, linkages and bearings from getting hammered at high velocity from your back wheel.

STICKER RECESS
The recess down the centre is a nice easy reference to apply our coloured stickers to, but it has a more important job, this recess prevents the sticker having to sit proud on the surface of the guard making it vulnerable to durability and jet wash issues. The supertack glue used on our stickers is strong, although it’s fair to say that no sticker is able to withstand a sustained attack from a powerful jet wash, although the recess does prevent a direct hit
MATERIAL
We decided to make our mudguard material slightly thicker than some offerings which together with our unique polypropylene mix gives great flexibility, durability and strength
ZIP TIES
6 cable ties are provided with each mudguard, the holes on the side arms are mandatory requiring 4 leaving the other 2 for the fork brace (although more could be added if desired)
Our ProGuard Rear - Cable Tie is designed, manufactured, and packed in the United Kingdom
Fitting the ProGuard Rear - Cable Tie
Rear mudguard

Slide the guard into position WITH THE WHEEL IN PLACE, you may need to squeeze the sides of the guard as you do so to get it through the sear stays
Hold the guard in position making sure it tracks the tyre (equal gap both ends)
You can now see which holes you will need for the most secure fit to the rear
Important - If you have a brace between the seatstays - you must attach at least one cable tie to it if you don't have a brace between the seatstays - you must use 3 cable ties on each arm
Remove guard and push out/snap-off any holes needed by putting the fornt of the guard onto the workbench, and using a thin sharp flathead screwdriver to push out the snap-off holes
Important - The snap-off hole will break off fast so ensure thre is nothing underneath the guard that the screw driver can hit, failure to do so may lead to damage or harm
Then feed cable ties through teh sames holes from the rear to the front (you must use min 5 cable ties to ensure the guard is secure)
Add clear tape to all areas the guard contacts to frame to reduce scratches
Pull up cable ties LIGHTLY to check alignment ensuring the head of the cable tie is at the botom/underneath the swingarm so it doesn't catch your legs whilst pedalling
Once aligned USE PLIERS TO PULL UP VERY TIGHT, cut off excess cable ties
Before use, ensure the guard doesn't hit the frame when bottoming the fork
Important
- Zip ties must be tight to prevent movement.
- Must be a minimum of 15mm tyre & 10mm frame clearance on bottoming
- RECOMENDED: Use clear protective tape on areas that the guard contacts the fork to eliminate any rub marks or scratches
- DO NOT USE IN STICKY / CLAGGY MUD AS IT MAY BLOCK AND CAUSE INJURY OR DAMAGE
