That makes bad news.
I’m going to try it out tomorrow for a ride. I’ve already got 2x Guards on the front (One mounted to that thing above the front wheel, the other on the down tube) but have always suffered from the lack of a rear.
It’s £8 for the extender which means after paying £27.50 it would cost £35.5 total for a rear mudguard.
I’m disappointed with the price but the ‘feel’ of getting very wet and muddy is ruining my enjoyment of mountain biking & the mud has been getting into my drive train, seat post, suspension & brakes which is a nightmare & is messing things up mid-ride, not to mention prolonging the after-ride jet wash.
Seeing as I’ve already made the bulk of the investment, might as well pay the bit extra to get the complete ‘package’.
The mud is now getting really bad if it’s not kept under control. My ride on Wednesday was shocking it really has suddenly gone a lot worse. I’m not going to suffer like I did last year with just a basic crud catcher. If it takes 3X Mudguards + an extender then that’s what it’s going to have to be.
It pisses me off that we live in a country with such bad conditions and some countries don’t have to even bother with mudguards and stay completely mud free and dry.
