I have just taken my scott fr30 out on its first run and i would like a rear mudguard that is specific to the rear triangle. similar to wjat can be used on the specialized big hits.

it dosnt need to be big, it dosnt need to be small, size isnt an issue.

what do you think?

you can get a pannier mount kit, just tie a plastic bag to the top of it (the basket for the front finishes the look perfectly)

because the rear travel may cause the wheel to contact it, and i dont want a stupid looking thing, it needs to be somthing that is efficent all year

You thought about trying to make one yourself? Get a sheet of flexy plastic - shape it and then zip tie it on? You could fix it on to the chain stay and seat stay.

I'm dying to get my hands on a VoltageFR, but no stock so waiting till 2011 models. Saw on Pinkbike you've been out on it today - how's it feel? Not expecting it to be the most efficient bike but does it climb OK?

the climbing was erm bobby, had to source it from another country =/

very stable on descent and berms, brakes are still bedding in and the forks are still setting in atm.

i'd like a proper small mudguard tbh, i might ask a mate to make one from carbon fibre as he made a square one for his team synday.

n ad me on pinkbike 😉

I think I know what will suit you... no sarcasm either.

look up Topeak Defender M1 & M2 Set - JeJames doing em for £22.99.

I've got a set for my Full Sus Trek Fuel... but thats only for a 100% off-road commute to work - so I want to turn up reasonably dry, and not have to climb into wet gear to go home in!!!

I won't be using them the trails though

I'd say one of those would probably do for what you want even though they are meant for the fork.

don't forget to say thank you now! 😀

I don't use rear mudguards unless it's absolutely filthy out and I have a long way to go, or a 2 day trip or something... You're gonna get muddy and wet anyway on a bike, what's an extra strip up the back?

Can't offer any other advice on the specific mudguards tho, other than perhaps googling for somethign specific to Scott.

This maybe?

Looks like a front and a rear setup...

tried wearing clothes when you ride - they are quite effective at stopping tire spray cutting - failing that get a motorcycle roost guard 😉

Cut a crud catcher in half, zip tie it in place, job done
