I want to put one of those mud guards that sit between the sanchions on a set of forks. Made of a bit of innertube that ties at the top and bottom - you know the sort of thing.

Does anyone know where online I can find guide to making one. I made one a few years ago but it left a lot to be desired

๐Ÿ™‚ do you wrap the tube over the crown first though?

Or buy a neoguard. Neater, easier and not that expensive...

If you go here [url= http://www.rapidracerproducts.com/NeoGuard%20pages/Neofitting.htm ]Neoguard[/url] you should be able to work out how to make one & avoid coughing up 15 quid for a bit of neoprene & some double sided velcro.

I've made a few of these, used pond liner rubber in the past, this ones a car innertube though. It's just velcro'd to the back of the brace and under the crown. Previous versions have been a bit longer and were pinned under the lower crown race but they weren't removable.
