What mudguards are people using in the super slop? I loved the Dfender, due to solid fitment, easy of removal+fitting and excellent mud clearance+guarding. But they dont have a bracket for DVO Diamond (or does a Fox one fit? The RS doesnt). I'd much prefer a guard that is bolt on rather than cable ties.
DVO have there own mud gaurd it comes with them in the box when bought and uses the screw holes at the rear of the bridge.

Thanks, but that mudguard is tiny. Its basically summer dust only
I’ve wondered the same thing as well. It could be such a neat solution but the DVO mudguard is so bad!
I’ve currently got a mudhugger ziptied on but I had wondered about buying one of the Fox or RRP bolt on mudguards and either 3D printing or cutting and drilling some hard plastic to make some sort of transition plate to use it with my Diamond
Ha, same here! That DVO mudguard is almost an insult to us wet weather dwellers. They're based in California or something aren't they so I guessed that was the explanation for the measly provision. That thing winds me up, why even bother include it!
I've got a pretty standard zip tie on one now which works great, never had a problem with clearance even with some mega Maxxis wide trail tyres. I have the one which extends forward out the front of the fork a bit too.

"We’re still working on the ProGuard Bolt On pack options for the DVO, however to get some of you going it will actually fit some DVO forks already just using the M4 Ohlins Bolt in the pack with the mudguard, HOWEVER, you will need a washer 12mm or 13mm wide to spread the load (as the head of the M4 Bolt is not wide enough), it also MUST be tightened to 2nm.
On some DVO forks you may need a tilt bracket (also in the pack) to raise the front, some don’t.
Just thought we’d share… See More"
I ended up getting the non bolt on RRP pro guard. Might upgrade in future if the bolt on is released
I ended up using the guard in the box as a 'chassis' and added my own extension - it ain't pretty but I think it does a better job.
