So Amazon and AliExpress are both full of MT fenders like these.
They tend to cost 5-15 dollars which IMO is stupid for a price of sheet plastic with some holes cyst in them. So I figured I could do it cheaper.
These “chopping mats” are 2/$1 at Dollar Tree. So I bought two sets, just Incase I boched it the first time.
And the end result of 10 minutes of work.
I don’t think it looks horrible, but it’s not great either. They certainly should work tho. I’mkind of excited to see how long they last. Spring is in full sing in northern Wi, with temps in the 50s forecasted this week, it’s going to be a long wet spring too win all the snow fall we got, so these are going to come in handy if the work.

The front one looks great. The back one looks functional and a bit like a cone of shame too.

Very much so. I think I’ll re do it coming out of the seat like an Ass Saver.

The front wheel is still going to throw water all over you. You need the fender to extend past the mid-point of the wheel if you want to stay dry.

I tried something similar back when I was a winter bike commuter guy. I just tried finding pictures, but it was too long ago. I used an old laundry detergent bottle and cut long wide strips from it, then flattened and shaped it over my stove. I zip tied one to the downtube and the other was straight off the back of the seat tube with some clothes hanger wire to support it.

Not a bad idea. The front one on mine works okay, but the back is a bit too short and doesn’t stop water from reaching Ye Ole Buttcrack. I’m going to just get some ass savers and ditch that one.

Yeah, I don’ t think there’s a great solution for the back that will stand up to the vibrations and movement of mountain biking.
