I'm sick to death of getting a wet arse every time I go out for a ride. I have a MuckyUtz Face Fender on the front of my Inbred 29er that does a reasonable job of keeping spray from my face, but I need something for the rear tyre too. Has anyone used the Zefal one? It looks reasonably robust and cheap. I'm beyond caring how it'll look, I just want to be dry.

I've got one of these, they are very good at keeping your arse dry, much better coverage than the old crud catcher!

Yes, it's excellent. I have 2, one on each of my MTBs

I put some pics here - http://singletrackmag.com/forum/topic/bikepacking-seatpack-and-reverbs

It's stopped an amazing amount of slop, some bits do get through when it's really bad, but I'm a big fan. Much nicer looking than a mudhugger, cheaper too

I think it depends On your seat stays as to how successful it is. I have very narrow seat stays on my ragley which meant having to use the thickest spacers/rubber strips which was a faff.... and then the bracket snapped in two so sent it back.
Nicest looking rear mud guard i've seen but fitting a bit over engineered compared to something like a mudhugger.
