Any good ideas or bodges to get a mudguard to play nicely with a reverse arch Manitou fork? The Manitou supplied guard is way too short for a British winter.

I've got an RRP Proguard Max on my Mezzer, just made a few holes in it and cable tied through the reverse arch as if it was a standard one.

No idea how to embed pics on here but here's a link to my IG post with it:

Crud XL plays nicely with my Mattoc. It's a little ugly but effective and adjustable.

Drill an appropriate set of holes to match the reverse arch. Job jobbed.

I have been wondering if you could make a mount to fit the fork bolt holes that would attach to one of the bolt on versions.

I'm pretty sure my RRP bolt-on guard came with bolts labelled Manitou, so is likely to compatible with models that have the holes.

I used a crud XL on my manitou for years. As above, not the best looking but worked in the slop

A Mughugger fits on my Mattoc, I had planned to drill some extra holes for the reverse arch but it turned out that the four leg cable ties were enough to hold it place and not need any on the arch.

I've got a bolt on RRP in the garage that I bought by mistake. No chance of it bolting up to the arch on my Mezzer without some sort of custom bracket.
