The Bender Fender from MuckyNutz is probably the most simple front mudguard around. Despite it's simple form factor, it does an impressively good job at stopping mud/water being flung up into your face. The Bender Fenders are made by the small Sheffield based company MuckyNutz. It arrived yesterday as a sheet of plastic and a roll of velcro. The included instruction manual stated clearly that you need to cut the velcro into 5 equal sizes (about 16cm), and then attach it your forks.
It was very easy to fit onto my forks, and it has stayed firm ever since. It doesn't show a sign of coming loose after a thrashing ride today. Because it sits so close to the tyre, it doesn't allow mud to be flung forward into my face. Because of the shape, it stops mud from also being flung to the side (total opposite of the RRP Neoguard).
For all you weight weenies out there, you will not be dissapointed with the Bender Fender, which ways only 16g. This is mostly because the plastic used is very thin and flexible. Its easily the lightest mudguard around, and it works flawlessly.
Verdict
The Bender Fender is the lightest mudguard around, and it stops EVERYTHING from being flung into your eyes. It's also a real bargain when you compare it's price to the other contenders out there. If you buy the Bender Fender you will not be dissapointed
