My fatty is stored with the front wheel off and bars rotated. The front mudhugger then points out stopping it being stored flush against the wall.
I'm a bit tight for space so some really quick way of removing guard or just being able to swivel it onto a vertical plane would be useful.
Any ideas?
Attach with Velcro or reusable zip ties.
Would a crudcatcher XL fit, they are held on with rubber bands so come off very easily

Yes, the rubber bands come off very quickly. In fact they don’t stay on at all. Then, when they do stay on, they eventually snap of course....
The guard is great, but needs a better mounting approach.
SKS Shockboard XL...guard attaches to adapter bung in bottom of steer, one button to slide off; very quick and easy
Loosen the stem bolts and rotate the bars? I’m not sure of your space issues but could you then leave the wheel on too?
Hope this helps.
Suspension forks or rigid?
If rigid could you attach via the fork steerer tube? Something like an expanding bung with a flush bolt through the mudguard?
I've had no issue with my crudcatcher, the mounting posts are directed such that the band's can't come off once they're properly in place. It's a slightly flexible mudguard but the coverage is great and nothing similar can be removed with such ease.
The crud xl is a great guard but not much use on a fat bike!
If you go down the route of loosening the steerer to twist the bars, then this steerer clamp will stop the headset slipping and save redoing the tension after: https://www.bike24.com/p2405931.html
Lucky13, that looks really interesting and a really simple idea.
Lose the front mud guard....and get a mucky nutz gut bucket...my face has never been cleaner...defo the best purchase for my fatty
@lucky23 & @zippykona
I just noticed that’s a 28.6mm seat clamp. Loads on eBay for less, especially if Bike24 doesn’t post to the UK, or it’s more in postage than product.
Seat clamps have a lip you'll need to file off, presumably that steerer clamp doesn't.
I didn’t think of that!
Ignore me.
