Took my Specialized Diverge E5 Comp for a spin in Scottish gravel. It’s been raining like crazy for the past couple of days so water and mud were everywhere. No idea how I managed to get mud on the bloody fender! Surprisingly no mud on my ars or back.

I’ve got the same effect sometimes. Could it be that the tires are too wide / fender too small? I think that’s the case for my bike. Anyhow want to change to smaller 40/38mm tires when my 45mm are done.

dont you know that mudguards work this way? you dont get dirty because they have some electrostatic effect and pull dirt onto top side instead of everything flying through air!
