Fitting a rear Mudhugger

[Bimbleball]

My latest purchase for my Trek Powerfly 5! I got the small as my bike is a 27.5er. The sides of the Mudhugger are parallel though and the seat stays obviously not. Do you just force it outwards and the cable ties hold it? I thought maybe it’ll be constantly fighting to go back to its original shape?

I let mine sit in the kitchen sink full of boiling water for a while to soften it up before cable tying it to the bike.

Heat gun or boiling water and tie it in to position you want and leave it.

Thanks both, I’ll try that
