my tire wiper installation (supported almost equally with the opposite installation in vintage photographs) even brought up an "incorrect" response from Jan. But, they eject everything except dust and water from my Honjos, including Big rocks and Big sticks. I've done the math and the roadwork - there is no way you're going to flip these around without grossly deforming the fenders, because the fender clearances are tight enough, and anything that would deform the fenders to that extent makes the flip factor moot. On the contrary, they keep that big stuff out of the fenders, along with all the small stuff. They even scrape mud before it enters the fenders. Of course they only work with slick tires. I wouldn't use these on the big clearances of my daughter's SKS fenders, but they function perfectly like this on my relatively low-clearance Honjos.
