For off road use.

My bender fender won’t work, and since starting to use it I’ve realised how ineffective down tube crud guards are at keeping mud out of your face.

So what do you use or more importantly what have you bodged.

I was thinking of a neoprene guard copy with a tube but mounted between the legs rather than the crown and leg braces.

Pics if possible.

Thanks,

You did ask 🙂

not quite what I had in mind but

Engine’s fallen off your bike there…

SKS Shockboard is the daddy of front mudguards really. The mounting isn’t so good- they can rattle a bit and can crack easily- so a couple of cable ties sorts them out. Excellent protection though and not too ugly either.

Trimmed-down rear Cycraguard. Not sure if that helps, but it works so much better than a DT mounted guard. Maybe with a stiffening piece and a sturdy steerer-tube plug (i/o my bottle cork and wood screw) it’d work on a normal rigid fork?

That Pugsley is barking mad, in a brilliant way )

I have had a shockboard type on and a innertube type one – both work

Love the Surly!

Inner tube neo guard copy and crud catcher for me. I did try the moto cross style fenders but found on rigid forks they really bounce around a lot so that every so often it would flick up large lumps of mud that had landed on top of it and then I’d get those straight in the face.

A normal THE fender.

Inner tube neo guard copy

How does that work on rigids?

How does that work on rigids?

Just rap a length of inner tube horizontally tightly around the stansions and super glue the overlap.

Ah, I see! Nice.
