For the Cowboy 1 and 1+, use a M6x20mm bolt to attach the front fender on the rear side of the fork. Make use of the longer stays (ment for the rear) for the front fender. You can use the shorter ones for the rear.
For the Cowboy 2 and 3, use a M5x65mm bolt to attach the front fender to de front side of the fork. Use a longer bolt (65mm) for the front-fender.
Thanks Very helpful, in the mean time there is no need to drill a hole in the rear one, they provide an extra plastic part to use to hold the rear mudguard at that place.
How did you install the extra plastic part? If i use the extra plastic part, the mudguard rubs against the tire.
Unbelievable helpful! I’m so thankful for your video. I would haven’t managed it at all without your help. Thank you so much!
Thank you Stephan!
Jealous to see how clean your bike still is ;-) Have just ordered the mudguards and will definitely use this video when installing them. Thx!
Haha Mark, we used a brand new one for the installation.
Thanks! I've just finished installing mine on my cowboy (the official ones don't provide enough protection). Your video was very helpful!
Good job Leng!
I’m not very handy guy. But I could follow this video step by step easily. Thanks for this!
It didn't go flawless for me (Cowboy 2). I noticed that defining the place for the hole was more precise when I added the plastic ring to the lower bolt before measuring. After installing the rear wheel the upper bolt was too high for my tyre (Schwalbe marathon plus), so I had to use another bolt with a flat cap there.
The fenders look stunning though!
It's also possible to mount the mudguard without removing the wheels. For the rear wheel you just need to deflate the tire. Easy!
Perfecte uitleg, bedankt!
Great instruction - thx, Mate👍🏻
Very detailed video but the original mudguards which are delivered by the Cowboy looks much nicer and strong and may be a little bit cheaper too .
Hi Riaz, the ones from Cowboy are really nice but only available for the Cowboy 3. This is a mostly for Cowboy 1 and Cowboy 2 owners. The Cowboy 3 mudguards cost 89 euro. These are 45 on average.
Toll gemacht, Klasse!
Danke Dieter!
Thanks, very helpful indeed!
No problem Michel!
Hello ! Thanks for this tutorial video :) I'm waiting my Cowboy bike, I ordered these mudguards, and I would like to buy before receiving my bike, the rod / screw for the front. Do you have a reference and the necessary dimensions? Thank you !
Congratulations Thymotep, good choice! You can email your address to kevin@cowboy.tools and I will send over the parts.
@@cowboytools3749 Hi Kevin ! Thanks for the video, could you let us know the standard head size of the 65mm bolt to be bought ? M something ;) Thanks
@@jbsinechal8380 It is a M5.
@@DiTemp And last question: where can we buy this bike holder to work ? It's awesome.
@@jbsinechal8380 Sorry for the late reply! This one is from Tacx but more reasonably priced is this one: tidd.ly/3oijv6L
very helpful, thank you!
Thank you Tina!
The radius of the mudguards I got delivered is much bigger then the C1 wheel size radius? Are there multiple radius options in de Cowboy C1 wheels or in the mudguards?
Yes the mudguard you should order are the 46 size, the other one is too big indeed
Hey, at 16:43 what size plastic ring did you use and where did you get it from? Thanks
Hi! It is the standard spacer that comes with the fenders.
So which additional bolts and pieces need to be bought seperately? In one post its m5, in the other m6. Also length of 65mm is beind advised while some say 20mm is more than enough? Quite a difference. Would be helpful if you could put the exact details in the description. Thanks!
Hi, you can find the two differences in the description of the video. C1 = M5 20mm. C2 = M4 65mm. Good luck on the installation!
I have another experience with this setup. i have the V1 and for the back mudguard there is no problem. The front mudguard is another thing. In the fork is only 1 hole, and this hole is on the backside of the fork. The lip on the mudguard has to be placed at the front of the fork.If you want to place it on the back, then is also the metal rail to short and is it not possible to fix the mudguard .
i have the exact same problem... looking for a solution :)
You say the back mudguard at the back is no problem with the V1, but there are no holes in the back to attach the stake holders. How did you do that? The front in my case was no issue, I used the plastic holder that comes with the sks to attach it to the back side of the front fork and left the metal attachment of the front guard unused.
@@kevindekok4508 i used that plastic part where the mudguards clicks in at the backside. The holes for the metal rail at the back is covered by a plastic cap/plug that you have to remove. You did it also at the front normaly. You can find this fixation point when you look for the nut that you have to unscrew to remove the wheel. above that nut you see another two screws aligned. Above these screws you see the plastic cap that you have to remove to fix the metal rail. This is the case for a V1 offcoarse. When you see minute 7:20 in the video, you see the holes in case of a V2. For the V1 it is almost the same.
I made a bracket for myself to fix the front mudguards. Just bended a U-shape. Fixed it wit a screw at the mudguard and fix it at the back of the fork.
@@chrisknaepen4523 thanks Chris, but I must be blind. I don’t see any plastic caps or holes. This is what I have: pasteboard.co/JHdqZwJ.jpg
@@kevindekok4508 the hole under the two screws is what you need to fix the stake holder. You have to fix it with a short M5 screw.
See picture🙂

Is a M5x60mm ok for this installation? M5x65mm is not common
Hi Victor, 60mm is too short. You need either 65 or 70 mm.
M5x65 or 70 are really difficult to find....
Will these mudguards fit on the cowboy V1? According to Cowboy there are no holes drilled into the fork to install the original mudguards V2 or V3, can you advise, thx
Hi Rudi, Kevin from cowboy.tools here. The SKS Mudguards will fit. The original V2 and V3 will not fit.
@@DiTemp ok thx for the Quick reply, but I see for the sks you also need holes in the fork, what is the difference then between the connection of the Org v2, V3 mudguards and the sks ones? I Just try to understand.
@@RUDI250475 Sure no problem! For the V2 and V3 mudguards you need three holes in the front fork. The V1 only has 2. That's why the SKS will fit.
@@DiTemp ah ok, now I get it. Thx for the info. Regards
@@DiTemp Is there any picture or guide available on how to attach the plastic stakeholders to the V1 frame for the rear mudguard? The holes as shown in the video with the V2 are just not present. The rear suspension is totally different from the V2.
I have set it, but it makes unpleasant suond on bumps. What I did wrong?
Hi Ezekiel, is it the front mudguard that makes a sound? Did you add the bumpers between the metal? Could you send me a picture to kevin@cowboy.tools?
Hello. what type of screw to use 65mm length? M6? thanks
It is a M5. GL!
After 1 year exactly. First the front mutguard got lose where it's attatched to the frame.
Today the rear mutguard just came lose. The metal just ripped.
that's because they are actually made for a larger wheel...the metal is under stress al the time.
Hi Wesly, sorry to hear. What happend? Can you send me a picture on kevin@cowboy.tools?
Hello Every body,
Some one having an M5 x65 for me?
I'm from Belgium. Having to difficult to find it..
Many thanks
Website says that this model is only a 28" compliant. Would it work for 27.5/650b??
They fit perfectly on the 27.5 wheels.
@@DiTemp perfectly is quiet a stretch (excuse the pun)...you force them in place, and still they look too big. And after a time - being under constant strain - the aluminum fender might rip.
Any idea when the site will be back online?
Hi Jeroen, by the end of this week there will be a brand new website online! We keep you posted.
Hi Jeroen, the new shop is back online!
Como.reharJe.la.Batri
Waarom niet ook in het Nederlands?
Hi Lex, de Cowboy community is internationaal. Vandaar Engels. Je kan via subtitels in TH-cam wel de ondertiteling gebruiken.
Too bad they are obviously made for a larger wheel...at the back wheel you can force it a bit, at the front wheel it just doesn't really follow the curve of the wheel...design wise that's meh.
Also the metal will break after a while because of the constant strain on it.
Hi Shiva, the fender is 28". The wheels are 27,5 but with a large tire. If you put the mounts on the frame first and then insert the stays you can make it fit perfectly. They follow the curve of the tires nicely.
Exactly my experience. These mudguards needs replacing after a while.
Drilling holes in your frame? Really? :(
Hi Steve, no need to drill in the frame. Only a small hole in the fender.
Niet te volgen.
Hi Lex, hoe kan ik je helpen?
Thanks for the great video.
