Fat Bike Fenders

thingiverse

Fat Bikes are fun but wet bums are not. Taking inspiration from the Fat Butt style fenders I adapted for my ladies saddle. tabs go under the bolts smiley cutout lets any rain falling on top of the fender out brackets keep the fender pointing up (self tappers into saddle plastic) It also keeps the clip-in thingy free for a tool bag at some point. Then finding that mud still rained down on me and the top of the fender I stuck the bike on a stand with the back wheel in a tray of water and determined that I needed something that caught the water spinning on the from the quarter way round tangent to the wheel. Digging through the garage I found an old MTB mudgaurd, fitting direct caught some of the spray but still too much for a dry bum even with my so called water proof ski pants on. So back to the printer to build an extender so the guard hung over the end of the wheel. In test got wet feet and muddy legs but butt was dry enough to sit down comfortably for a cup of tea before heading to the shower, so declared success. I can now go up a mountain, through a stream or 2 and should be dry enough to stop at the cafe for cake... Printed in felxible fillament (85 to 98 A) You will probably need to adapt for your bike/saddle/bum width and print bed, so here's the openscad file. Also used first draft bum fender as a front fender (zip tie fastening) which catches more mud.
