General: Test Hebie Schutzfinger: Useful extension for the mudguard

July 4, 2016 by the editorial office

Test Hebie Schutzfinger: It's the small things that optimize the big ones. Even when cycling. For everyday commuters and touring riders, for example, all is right with the world as long as they don't get wet when it rains. Also not from below. But fenders are often so short that puddles turn into foot showers; the new shoes for the office are quickly spoiled.

 

701_GUARD_FINGER_builtThat's where Hebie's protective finger comes into play. It not only lengthens the mudguard like a mudflap: It gets wider towards the bottom and because it remains hard against the wind and spray pressure, it also ensures that feet and socks are really dry, which mudflaps often cannot do. But not only we should stay dry. E-bikes with the popular mid-motors should be protected from too much splashing water if possible. The 23 centimeter long plastic part is intended to prevent possible "water damage" to the engine even in the worst downpour.



Nice for the dirty work

Thanks to the soft plastic, the protective finger adapts to all mudguards from 35 to 65 millimeters wide. For a firm hold, it is not simply attached like many mud flaps, but firmly attached to the mudguard with two screw bolts. Beautiful: A small closure flap - the "optical fingernail" - covers the two nuts after quick assembly, the whole thing then looks as if it was designed in one piece.

If you want to be nice to the person behind you: Of course, the chic finger also fits on the rear mudguard - at a good 50 grams (with fastening parts) even weight freaks can afford it.

Conclusion Hebie Schutzfinger:

For 9,95 euros there's a hell of a lot of functionality for the money. Quickly installed and effective, the Hebie protective finger makes the next ride in the rain much more bearable.
