I saw that a while back, and we get some random rain here too. Thought it might be sorta nice as a 'just in case' type of thing.

I know someone here that uses one and he says it does a surprisingly good job of keeping his ass dry. Though you still get a skunk tail halfway up your back.

I got a couple, it does what it's intended to do and takes up basically zero space in your bag. Don't bother if it's actually raining though. The one Scrod linked to looks a lot more effective but a little more bulky. They (Windsor) also have a lightweight one but it uses those cable ties so you don't get the easy on/off of the ass saver.

Your cog is slipping.
I'm going to change the RG site to be just like that, except you'll be waving a big dick around.

Can you imagine? 
It will be really floppy too, so selecting stuff is nearly impossible.

Then it would at least keep your top tube pad clean.

chiz it doesnt claim to be a replacement for a full bolt on fender but one used for in situations where you need atleast some sort of protection lol.

For some one in vegas you may be alright with the ass saver. But for the average person looking for a rescue fender, I really like this one https://www.universalcycles.com/shopp...80&category=79

I was considering just cutting up some empty cans and rig something up. Should work, right?

So, if you post a link to Full-Windsor, would that be a cyber circle jerk???
