Anyone use the Crud fender?

I am using one as is the wife... they look a bit MX
but do the job very well. Since fitting it the mud face problem from before has been avoided 
More obvious than a Neoguard which is very neat and tidy. I've not used one of those though so can't compare.

The Mucky Nutz Y Fronts (or whatever they're called from Charlie the Bikemonger) works very well with a Crudcatcher. I shall be sporting one for this weekends aqua biking expedition.... No weight and far more unobtrusive than the fender, IMO.

but what about water off the front of the tyres?

Had mine on for a few rides now (wet and dry), really does as it says - recommend

with a shorter stem, it would look better

Rob - no problem with mud, water, dirt or grime off the front tyre. It was my main reason for buying one as I don't like riding in shades in the winter..

I had a look at b r's and that's exactly how mine looks as I use a 120mm stem (6'3")

Yep, had mine out for it's first test around Afan last weekend in the deluge. Was very, very impressed! In conjunction with a new shape Crud Catcher on the downtube. Had the entire weekend with a mud free face and none of that Afan grit in my eyes!
It does look a little spcial, but it works so that's fine for me!

I have used the old type one for years, at £3 it might be worth a shot.. I just usually cable tie mine to the crown of my forks, I think its neater than the new one.

I got the standard 'speed stuff' front fender from CRC and cut off the rear section. Looks better IMO and sits closer to the wheel. Works a treat keeping most of the mud out of my contacts.

Yup, I'm using one. Got fed up of spray in the face and one particular night ride this week where I got a nice 'taste of diesel' convinced me that going without is definitely not an option.
