Bicycle Pubes Win Wing Fender
Ass Savers and Bicycle Pubes have teamed up to create a collaborative “GravGrav” Win Wing fender designed by Mr. Pubes himself. To launch the project, they’ve shared a fun activity to get the word out. See below from the team…
To be honest, we have no idea if this will work. So that’s why we are calling it an experiment. Exciting, I know. And all you have to do in order to participate is:
- Save and print the flyer posted above on any kind of printer.
- Cut the tabs so that people can tear em off.
- Put up the flyer somewhere locally. Bonus points for recognizable landmarks, signs in local language, flora/fauna or placement in generally weird or confusing locations.
- Take a picture that shows the entire flyer in its location.
- Take a recognizable picture of the QR code.
- Post both pictures in a carousel post on Instagram, tagging @asssavers and @bicyclepubes AND #gravelpubes
For your effort, you will be rewarded with a voucher so you can receive the GravGrav Win Wing for free from our website. Please allow for a few days before receiving the voucher, we do all this by hand. No bots, no ey-ay, no algo-rythms. Analog af.
We look forward to extrapolating data from this experiment and we thank you for your support.
Yours truly,
Ass Savers & Bicyclepubes

The dream of the 2000s is alive and well in Pittsburgh! This lugged fixed-gear frame marks Liberation Fab’s inaugural build since their cross-country relocation to Steel City. Deep dish rims, skinny tubes, and loud paint flirt between pastiche and homage to bygone cycling trends. Head over to Liberation Fab to see what else they’re up to!
