This “How To” guide outlines how to fit clamps and saddles to poles and guards. A special thanks to the team at Patchell for sharing their expertise. We will cover off fitting poles to the chassis in a separate article.
There are four steps to fitting clamps or saddles:
1. Mudguard stand – use two stands to hold mudguards in place above the wheel. The one pictured below has an adjustable height.
2. Secure mudguard in place with stands. Make sure the mudguard is in line with both chassis poles and gives sufficient clearance around the wheels.
3. Drill the holes into the mudguard. Place the bolts, washers and nuts in place after each hole so the parts do not move during the drilling or fitting process.
4. Tighten the bolts, washers and nuts and admire your work!
