  • Hello! I have analyzed the provided SKS Mounting Instruction for ALLROAD and MOUNTAIN mudguards. This document outlines the steps for mounting both front and rear mudguards, including the unique ASR-plug safety feature and adjustments for various frame types. I'm ready to answer any questions you have about the installation process or the features of these mudguards.
  • What is the purpose of the ASR-plug?
    How do I adjust the mudguard stays?
    What should I do if my fork has disc brakes?

Function
ASR-Plug
(ASR = Automatic Stay Release)
The ASR-plug is the smart problem
solution for foreign parts caught up
by the tire, which sometimes lead
to the blocking of the front wheel in
the past. In cases like this, the ASR-
plug releases the stay and prevents
possible crashes.

Mounting
Open the polybag containing the ttings and check all parts are complete. To simplify the procedure prepare
the stays rst.
Mounting front mudguard
Before mounting the endcap, guide the stays through the bridge and eyebolt. The eyebolt nuts should only
be tightened slightly. Now set the optimal alignment of the wheel guard to the tire. Mark the appropriate
length and cut the stays with a hacksaw. Pass the stay ➋ through hole in bolt ➊ and tighten with nut ➌. After
that push the endcap ➍ on the stay and over the tighencel nut. (pic.A). The prepared front mudguard (prole
& ASR-stay) should be xed slightly with the enclosed screws to the fork lug eyes. (pic.B).Bolt the front
mudguard shackle with the enclosed screw to the brake bolt (pic.C1+C2). Make all the nal adjustments
for a perfect t (pic.D). Secure in place by tightening the nuts ➌ with 2 Nm on the bolts ➋. The protruding
stay can either be cut off or tted with an endcap. The enclosed spacers allow the assembling at forks with
disc brakes, if they are on the line with the stay (Abb.E1 + E2). A maximum of 4 spacers are used at once.

Mounting the rear mudguard
Before mounting the endcap ➍, guide the stays through the bridge and eyebolt. The eyebolt should only be tightened slightly. Now set the optimal alignment of the wheel guard to the tire. Mark the appropriate length
and cut the stays with a hacksaw.
Pass the stay ➋ through hole in bolt ➊ and tighten with nut ➌. After that push the endcap ➍ on the stay and over the tighened nut. (pic.A).
Fix sliding bridge ➎ with the enclosed screw ➏ to the seatstay plate or bridge. Fit the rear mudguard ensuring the slot for xing to the chainstay is to the front. Push on the sliding bridge and fasten it. (pic.B).
Depending on the type of chainstay plate or bridge there are two methods of xation:
• x directly through the hole with plate/washer, screw and nut (pic.C).
• pre-assemble the clip with plate/washer, screw and nut (pic.D).
Place the pre-assembled mudguard on the rear wheel and x it rst to the chain stay plate, then to the seat stay bridge and nally the V-stays to the frame lug eyes (pic.E).
Make all the nal adjustments for a perfect t (pic.F).
