Are splash shields optionally available for the wheels? Sounds old fashioned, but I often tour on wet roads and prefer to remain clean and dry.

I have this bike on order and spoke to a sales rep for Prodeco before purchasing and asked him the same question. He said they're available from them for $22 ($12 + $10/shipping). You might want to call Prodeco and confirm this. Sounds reasonable to me.

Yes, a silicone splash guard is included. You have to remove it when putting on the lid, though.

Hi,Yes use the tube and liner, they say tubeless but there versatile, I used new liners and tubes and these tires are awesome in wet as well. Hope I was able to help you with this question.

I've not ridden with them in the rain to speak of, but when I've cleaned the bike water retention was not an issue. They are denser than a sponge and not absorbent.

Would be better if they were rubber clad. There are others out there that have rubber wheels on them. I would suggest one of those instead.

My grandson (a mechanic) installed my side rails and he told me the rails were predrilled to install. It took him less than an hour to install to two side rails and four splash guards. Splash guards might need some minor drilling.

I haven't had to buy any. In the instructions that came with the Rio there is a place to purchase extra wheels.

Not really. The wheels are very slippery so tall or wet grass won't work. Mud is out of question.

I don't think a side splash is available. It doesn't come with on but the manufacturer might be able to custom one for you.

That is the connection to the seat post. Thats how the fender is connected to the bike. The fender tucks down below the seat. Easily adjustable to cover the splash from the wheel.

No. The body styles are different. Shop for splash-guards specific to your year model.

No splash guard!. Water supplied out side of arbor. good for natural stone polish.

Yes, the ones I bought have raceguard. They roll over everything. Traction are not what they are made for. They are the smoothest tires for a 29er out there, as far as I know. I never got a flat yet and have quite a few miles on them. I also have mr. Tuffy tire liners and check often to make sure no glass or anything else gets embedded in the rubber which might cause a flat eventually.

These are some of the most slickest tires I have ever used. Dry conditions you can get through a corner. Wet really depends on your abilities but if you have ridden enough you should be able to get through wet corners.

Yes, my son have them and he plays with them in the Race Track. It can get cloghed sometimes, but i dont think it depends on the cars but on the race track itself! cheers!

Yes. Mine do, but with enough riding and use of rim breaks, they get dirty fast.

The information sheet that came with the scooter says not to use it in wet conditions. I think it's because the wheels can slip on wet cement.
