We will be in touch
Hi all. Just picked up a lovely Stage 6 Evo and with the slop incoming was wondering what mudguards people were using out back that's compatible with an Orange style swing arm?
I have a Mucky nuts on my my Stage 4 and it is ok if a bit short, A Win wing MTB guard would probably work too

Mudhugger on an orange or other bike with no / low seat stays
Mine is still going strong, does get commented upon, not always positively 😀Â
and
what mudhugger style rear guard low seat stays
Sks mud hugger copy here. With the wedge set for a low seat stay. Although in my experience you need some grip tape and zip ties on the guard / swing arm since ithe upper arm shape (narrowing to the rear) means that the standard supplied Velcro straps mean that it moves.

I've tried all of them on my Alpine Evo. The Mudhugger looks like a whale tail, the SKS doesn't sit close enough to the tyre even on the low setting. I've got the Mucky Nutz one but even that either sticks up too high or the front lower portion of the guard clatters into the seat tube on 90% travel. I have cut it down to try and avoid this. I even tried a Zefal one with big clunky bolt-up clamps, and I got that looking fantastic. Barely there. But it was also completely useless and too flimsy for off road. Yet to try the Win Wing but I might do. Don't really know why I bother because I'm always wearing either a onesie or waterproof dungarees this time of year, but I don't really like grinding muck and grit into the seat of my expensive waterproofs!Â
Win wing working well on my Stage Evo  - just right to keep the slop off the dropper and my backside so all good 👍Â
Tried a few - Win Wing seems to be the best compromise - keeps most of the crap off, doesn't catch on the rear wheel on full compression and looks a lot better than the mud hugger!Â
What if my swingarm is Blue?
