does anyone think there is a need for some kind of device which stops your wheels getting clogged up wth mud?
ORR does anyone know of something on the market which already solves this problem?
id really appreciate any responses, cheers 😀
LOL 😀
Yep - it exists.
A road bike.
i've often thought about this. pretty hard to get right i reckon. i thought of some kind of plough shear like device on the seat stays
I'm sure something could be rigged up with a couple of lolly sticks...
A Shed 🙄
Which part of the wheels?
Disk wheels?

Ride slicks 😛
Attach a dirtworker to the front and the rear of the bike, place car battery in frame, position nossles over wheels. Bingo!
Some type of hard-bristled roller brush tucked under the seatstay wishbone and fork crown?
Or maybe have a large camelbak feeding a dynamo-powered jetwasher directed at the top of each tyre, cleaning and spraying as you go.
Or a mixture of the two, if alone they aren't ridiculous enough.
You could carry a tarpaulin round with you to put over any muddy sections before riding over them?
U brakes always worked pretty well in mud IIRC.
Ride round the really thick mud! 😆
If you can't, pick a different trail.
If this is not possible, use the road, but i don't recommend it.
If it's too muddy, stay at home.

That made me laugh out loud!!! 😆
I know somewhere where that might be a good idea. 😉
Something like this, but in reverse, ie brush attached to your bum?

Best mud solution

You're not riding fast enough! 😉
Ye olde worlde road bikes used to have some kind of tyre scraper that fixed to the fork crown that skimmed the tyre and knocked glass etc. off before it became a puncture.
Can't think of the correct technical term so can't find an example on Google.
something similar to that "might" skim the mud off....
An old person told me that they were called flint catchers, then he ran away...........
a tyre that clears better?
Breatheeasy were they called "thorn catchers"?
