[Closed] mudguard on a jones truss fork...how?

I think the Crud catcher is your (our) best best

Jeff seems to like them. I ran one all last mud season and was happy in that it kept almost all of it out of my face/eyes which I thought was the best I could expect

oddly enough all those tubes on mine seem to act as a splatter guard anyway 🙂

But Id put one of those little enduro plastic guards under the brace and ziptie to the rear legs.

This shows a Jones bike with a "proper" mudguard, why not ask them what is is Ton?

I use a cork and a woodscrew through an old rear guard, jams into the steerer firmly but would pull out if it got jammed. The forward horizontal support of the truss gets a zip tie loop to hold it firm -

Would work with a longer guard that had a stay by using a p-clip lower down the fork leg.

perfect gents, thanks for the replies, jameso wins 😀

Frame arrived 2 weeks before the wheels were ready, I had time to faff with stuff like that..

Jameso - what's the max width tyre you've ran under the Crud?

I've just 'placed' a Crudder and the sides and front are close to a Chronicle

Wondering if trimming the guard will reduce its strength too much?

2.4 Ardent on a 30mm rim, plenty of space. Not used an 3" tyre on it. I used a rear Cycra guard, maybe a bit wider than the crud guard. They can be reshaped a little with a hairdryer if you're careful and have something to form it over.

Looks good but never had a problem with a crud catcher on the downtube. Thought that was what the bolts were for?

also feasible to fit a little guard across the forks, to stop the spray that gets thrown up along the tyre and then towards your face. there are pre-made ones or an inner tube will do the task equally well..

Just txt youa pic of my mates fathugger in situ

TBF, the Crudder on the DT I have been using seems to work fine, there's just not really enough room for a 3" tyre with the front Crud ala Jameso

Sunday's mud faced splatter forced my hand so fixed up a front Crudder today

Also fitted a 3" Dirt Wizard which clears fine

Looks like it should work fine

I trimmed the rear of mine to clear my foot, how's the clearance on the plus?

I'd be tempted to trim the front of that one to style it a bit, get rid of the indent and blunt front edge. Sad I know..

Oh and I found that amalgamating rubber tape on the front spar is useful, the zip-tie grips it well and it's less rattly-scratchy.

Ah, will do those

I was thinking any less on the front might allow face splatter (Course most comes up from the rear, but....)

Haven't tried pedaling it to check for feet clearance 😳

Style it up you say 🙂

Wish I had done the trimming and filing outside though - that plastic dust is murder 🙂
