    Hi,

    Today I bought Aldi's mudguards for my Giant ATX 2 bike, and when I fitted the front mudguard, it didn't look right to me.

    Can you please tell me if this is the correct way to install the front mudguard? The front of the mudguard doesn't look to be set up correctly as it's far from the wheel, but again I'm new to cycling and never installed mudguards before.


    Thanks

    I think that it's not backwards as the longest part is the back. :confused::confused:

    I just tried to fit it the other way around but it didn't fit.

    I spent some time trying to figure out what's wrong and my conclusion is that this front mudguard doesn't fit my bike due to its shape as you can see in this picture

    Any thoughts?

    Think I’d heat it with a hairdryer and bend it down so
