Ass Savers’ marketing declaration that the Win Wing “is stable, can handle knocks and hits, and is rattle-free” lured me in. Sure, it would be nice to have on my commuter but in my current location it’s far from necessary and I recognize that half of that desire would be motivated purely by the aesthetic glint of hammered alloy.

After taking a look at the product template document, I sent them a design, and a couple of months later, a big box of them arrived at my doorstep. Social rides are a different affair and most if not all on those rides will be kind to their fellow riders and utilise guards.

With with its compact and lightweight design, can the Ass Savers Win Wing hold up to the death mud found in Colorado’s high desert? With only four components (competitors use as much as 40 components) it's not that much that can go wrong. I tried it on a different bike the next day, and moving it a little lower seemed minimize forward spray, although conditions weren’t nearly as wet.mm PP (Polypropylene),Wishbone holder - glassfiber reinforced PA (Polyamid or Nylon) and Strap - TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane). As such, I’ve never felt the need to outfit any of my bikes with permanent fenders, though they do lend a certain utilitarian panache to a classic skinny-tubed steel steed, imo. Working on your bike doesn’t have to be grey, we know a colourful like the BLB Rainbow Allen Key toolset will always make us smile. In terms of the Win Wing, I’d caution you to use care if/when swapping out the blades so as not to test the limits of the Wishbone’s lateral flexibility. The mudguard section clips onto the wishbone mount, via three attachment points: one on either side of the 'guard and by choosing one of three holes in the middle.

However, with the rotational direction and the fact that the straps act as flexible suspension for the Wishbone, I don’t see it being an issue, and I haven’t had any problems with it after several very rough dirt road and gravel rides.The backside of its angle can be adjusted by choosing at which point it attaches to the top of the wishbone. I thought the best way to prove this one way or the other was to mount my camera on my seat post looking back at the Win Wing and ride through quite a lot of mud.

You mount the wishbone so there are just a few millimetres clearance over your tyre, then clip on the blade so it sits at -10°, 0° or +10° to the wishbone.

Essentially, the physics behind it dictates that with the increased forward momentum and faster wheel rotation, spray travels in a straight line from the point of release, which happens to be in the upper rear quarter of the tire. if you plan on pedaling your gravel bike or ATB in wet and muddy conditions, the Win Wing is a no-brainer. The downside of course is that the Win Wing doesn't stop water from your back tyre from spraying up at anyone following you. The straps are made from ultra-tough TPU and should be pulled as tight as you can comfortably do by hand.
