Face Fender

Mucky Nutz

£12

The OG. Launched in 2009, the Face Fender helped change the mudguard game. Lightweight, low-profile and brilliantly effective, it keeps mud, spray and trail crud out of your face and away from your fork seals. Simple, tough and easy to fit, it works brilliantly on its own or paired with a Gut Fender for even more front-end protection. Designed to fit mountain bikes with forward-arch suspension forks, regardless of wheel or tyre size. Available in a range of colours to match your bike. Made in the UK from 100% recycled plastic.

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as MUCKY NUTZ LTD, number 07803074. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Stated by the company: "Today, we're proud to be in our new, larger premises in Bude, with more space, more storage, and even more room to dream up fresh ideas. We design, test, and manufacture all our products here in the UK, with much of it made in the South West." Source.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
No majority shareholding traced outside the UK. Companies House.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
