Using this gut fender is a breeze. Just attach it to the downtube of your bike. Make sure it's firmly in place so it doesn't move around during your ride. When you're out on the road or trails, it'll shield your upper body from mud, rocks, and other debris. After each use, give it a quick rinse with water to get rid of any dirt. Check the attachment points regularly to ensure they're still secure. If you notice any signs of wear, it might be time to replace it.
