Pyramid Hugger Bummer

[dog]

Had to take my bike on a couple miles of dirt roads this weekend. It was kinda like riding on marbles. Noticed yesterday that my $100+ plastic Pyramid hugger didn't care much for it either.

Oh well, such is life....

It's meant to take a beating, don't worry about it. Maybe try some of that door edge guard stuff and see if it will cover it. You could possibly take a Dremel tool and grind off a little bit so there is more of a gap between the edge and the tire.

True enough. Might just leave it like that. Kinda says "This bike is more for riding than lookin' at."

Wow, the hugger does not even follow the curve of the tire? Seems very cheap to me. Crossing this off my "hugger" list. Thanks for the update and photos.

Looks like the hugger is doing it's job well. I think I would prefer this hugger to the other options I've seen because there is more space between the tire and hugger. If you ever ride down a wet dirt road the mud can cake up pretty quickly. I would like to have something even more vertical. More space is good.
Keep riding,
Mike

The best tire clearance I have seen is the Skidmarx.

Have the Pyramid hugger on my s, would not go for it again, same for the skidmarx tall screen, very very noisy.
