    Got these forks on an old hardtail I’m using over the winter. I had a spare enduroguard which tried to butcher but was no good really just wondered what mudguard is best suited to these forks. Link of forks I have https://m.vitalmtb.com/product/guide/Forks,33/Manitou/Minute-Expert-Fork,4795#product-specs

    I’ve got some old Manitou Minutes on one bike and the only guard I found that would fit was an old Neoguard…..

    ….of course you can make your own with an old inner tube and zip ties.

    Will that work on the reverse arch forks may be wrong but can only picture the mud still flying up at the front????

    Muckynutz make one specific to reverse arch forks….here

    and they also state this ‘Please note: You can also fit our Face Fender XL backwards to suit reverse forks!’

    Thank you steal4real. Would you recommend zip ties Velcro or does it not greatly matter. I have read that the xl fits backwards but needs trimming to suit so would rather one that fits really and that looks ace thanks

    Personally – I use velcro, but for ease of removal when servicing the fork. Disadvantage is that the mudguard can move a little and rub the fork paint unless there is some form of helitape or similar for protection.

    Cable ties can be really well tightened so there is no movement.

    Mudhugger, Stanley knife and a strip of black tape: cut the new slots so they sit under the fork’s arch, cover the old ones with the tape and there you go!
