Hi there!

Before I installed the 2+2 rear rack, I used the bike with the Pacific cycles mudguards alone for a while.


Without the rear rack, the rear mudguard sits on the floor when folded, but the connecting plate that touches the floor is reinforced with a thick piece of plastic. Yes it might scratch if I push the bike, but it will not fall apart. I can only carry the bike around but no way to push it.

As for the front, you have to turn the handlebar slightly to the left before folding. You can check the above picture for reference.
