“Regular Fit”: For the Regular Fit the following bicycle types are included; Fixie, Hybrid, European city bicycle, racing bicycle, single speed, cruiser, male or female bicycles. For these types of bicycles you must be careful the Fenders are not wider than the tires (to fit through the fork). More information about the Regular Fit can be found here.

“Fixie & Racer”: In contrast to the Regular Fit, the Mudguards for the Fixie/Racer must be divided into a split Mudguard, due to the sometimes too small gap between the tire and the Fork or Brake arm.

Are WOODIE fenders oiled or painted and what advantage does this surface treatment provide?

Our WOODIEs are treated in separate batches with a special mixture of different oils. The oil penetrates deep into the wood and cures “from the inside”. It does not protect the mudguard only from the outside, as is the case with lacquered wood surfaces. But there are other advantages over painted surfaces: WOODIE mudguard will accompany you in your daily life and will withstand general daily stress. Weather conditions, temperature fluctuations and exposure to light will have little effect on the mudguards. There will be no chipping of the paint! Scratches can be removed easily with sandpaper and some oil. Another major advantage is the natural look. Unlike painted surfaces, oils are a natural product. Wood oils underline the wood character, while the silky smooth surface allows the wood to breathe. The natural beauty of the wood can then really shine and the wood feels natural.

How can WOODIE mudguards be cleaned and maintained?

WOODIE mudguards are very robust and easy to maintain. The distinguishing features of your WOODIE mudguard is the natural oil , which is characterized by high resistance to dirt, moisture, temperature and sunlight. Nevertheless, in dealing with treated wood you should note a few things:

  • Wood is a living material which succumbs to fluctuating ambient temperatures and relative humidity, resulting in a change of the moisture content in the cell walls of the wood. These material properties can result in light curves, a slight concave or convex deformation in the area, or even hair and dry splitting, especially in a dry and warm environment. A direct one-sided thermal radiation (eg radiators or heaters) should be avoided. Colored wood is also changed under the influence of sunlight. Lighter woods tend to darken, darker woods tend to fade. These changes are not grounds for complaint, and they can be reduced if the wheel guard is wiped occasionally with wood protecting oil. If additional holes are made, they must be treated with wood oil to guarantee a weatherproof seal.

Cleaning: The surface can be wiped down for heavier dirt – under no circumstances should aggressive cleaning agents be used.

Oiling: When do the WOODIE Mudguards need to be treated? There are no hard and fast rules; it depends on how much the wheel guards are used. Also the environment (humidity, drought, temperature and solar radiation) play an important role. Some mudguards must be oiled after a few weeks, others only after one year. If the surface feels rough and dry, it’s time for a follow-up treatment.
