Which prevents most 5h1t being thrown onto your face?
I run a Mucky Nutz and Crud Catcher - works for me, mostly without glasses.
ive got mucky nutz (oo er!!) on the chameleon and it works a treat.
Mucky Nuts has the added advantage of helping to protect the Fork stantions as well.

Mucky nuts stops the crap that's thrown forward and you ride into (most of the stuff in the eyes) while the crud catcher stops the stuff being thrown back that normally coats your torso and upper legs. Together is a vast improvement but tend not to look too gnarr!
I have a home-made milk carton nutz clone..
Works well, although I'm prob gonna get the real thing cos it looks a bit neater!
Rode skyline last weekend, conditions were terrible I've got a bender fender and it worked perfectly.
Me and Mrs Legend did the face shot challenge at the weekend. I used the MuckyNutz she had a NeoGuard, she took considerably more face shots than I
Used to use a neoguard, now use mucky nutz on all my bikes. Neoguard was always buzzing tyre at full fork compression and velcro needed cut down to stop it dragging on tyre.
As others have said, combine mucky nutz with a crud catcher and you're sorted.
Mucky Nutz for me too, works better than the neoguard with the added bonus of keeping the fork seals cleaner. I am keen on trying one of mojo/powa's defender mudguards but i can't stomach £60 for one - hoping something similar and cheaper comes along ready for next winter (which started last month).
Another vote for Mucky Nutz.
I've had the Neoguard, Crudcatcher and Mucky Nutz . The Crudcatcher doesn't work anywhere near as good as the others and the Mucky Nutz is best of the two
just back from a very sloppy ride, Mucky Nutz + Crud Catcher and I was the only one of us recognisable in the pub.
the MN is a permanent fixture on my bikes, the CC only comes out on proper sloppy days.
+10 for inner tube and zip ties, very customisable
how do you guys stop Crud Catcher slipping around the downtube?
anyone drilled holes for it, probably a bad idea..
Crudcatcher and Cycraguard do very little by themselves. Mucky Nuts is very effective, Neoguard maybe a bit less. Seems to me that adding a Crudcatcher with a Mucky Nuts only improves coverage a little- I generally just use the Mucky Nuts fenders by themselves and I don't miss the crudcatcher, they're basically mudguards for people who don't really want mudguards IMO 😉
If you really want to stop mud, get a Shockboard, or something similiar. Nothing else compares.
Crudcatcher and 'mousemat+cableties' for me.
Crudcatcher on the back too...nothing else comes close.
Latest CC rear has two improvements over the V2.0 that suffered bolt-slip and a very poor rotate-and-snap clip...I ended up evo-sticking it in place to stop the rattling.
At least its primary function was still excellent.

Neoguard here. Looks miles better than the alternatives.
i use a muckynutz, although its not perfect and i still get occasional fires in the eyes for £8 its a vast improvement and makes a definite improvement to the face/mud coverage effect
[i]I have a home-made milk carton nutz clone..[/i]
Any pics? Might bodge something up for the weekend.
Looks miles better than the alternatives.
Cos that's what's important in a mudguard!
muckynutz here too - [i]works[/i] miles better than the alternatives.
Muckynutz here too. It really stops the flick from the stuff thrown forward if you get what I mean, rather than the stuff thrown up.
The best reason for buy it though is the added protection it gives your forks.
Some people have said they don't work well with Rockshox though as there isnt enough tyre clearence.
i use a neoguard and a front crud catcher together, (crud catcher bolted to bike because my crush came with bolts) hardly ever get anything in the face except for the very worst conditions
THE Moto-X style 'guard prevents most crud.
Mucky nutz isn't bad though, for the size and as mentioned, keeps your stanchions clean.
I've bodged up a bigger version of the Nutz, using an old THE guard but mounted the same way to the brace for more coverage. Looks a bit moto-trials, but it works. And costs a lot less than that heap of sh!t Mojo one.
Neoguard/inner tubes looks marginally better from the side, mucky nutz/milk bottle works a LOT better.
Your call.
Mucky Nutz - best item you can buy for a bike for under £10. Bought one for the wife as well to help her avoid the grit in teeth feeling. I wear presciption glasses too and it helps keep the crud off my specs very well.
Only down side for me is slight lack of tyre clearance - my old 2007 Rebas plus 2.25 Ardent does not leave much room for the mucky nutz guard. However, the chunkyish high volume/low tread Ardents are not really a great mud tyre and with this pants weather I expect the trailrakers will be back on soon...
Combination of a Panaracer 2.35 Rampage and my wife's new tk silver recons look like they will have more tyre clearance and room for a mucky nutz guard.
Surely everyone's going out buying those £60 ones that were in MBR? SURELY??!

IHN, here you go..

Best combo i found was - innertube neoguard + a crud motoguard ( circa 2000) 2 downtube crud/crud alikes rescued off old bikes left in the shop on the down tube zip tied in place and a 3rd ziptied behind the seat tube and then a cycra guard 29er guard out the back.
How ever this was a specific set up for the 24hours of strathpuffer an i was tryin to mimic full length guards as close as possible - worked damn good
Didnt find the the "the" guard did much for the mud thrown forwards - its too high from the wheel imo

If its good enough for Minnaar, Gee, Brook Macdonald, Mick Hannah etc ...............
Mucky Nutz to protect those fork stanchions all day long
From watching people @ Bontrager 24/12 today the cleanest faces were those running Crud Catchers &/or Mucky Nutz, the neoguards & mucky nutz on their own were letting a lot of slop through.
The only person I saw having any success with a rear guard was someone running it about an inch above their back wheel, any other rear mudguard seemed like a waste of time.
Yes you need a crud catcher or a mudguard with the mucky nutz to stop mud and water that comes off the bottom of your wheel and straight up to your face
