I run a Muckynuts fender on both of mine - not tried a full guard with them.

Mudguard fitting tricky as those forks were often twisted.......

If you're prepared to get wet behind the front wheel, but with less mud-on-face action - I use a RRP neoprene "mudguard".

Apologies for being dim - is that Firestarter mudguard/fender bracket homemade or is it available to buy somewhere?

That is very definitely home made! ๐Ÿ˜†

I dont think they intend the current Fargo to be a commuter with full guards, hence the lack of mounts front an rear. Shame really, that's why I bought a Genesis Vagabond for my fat-tyre-drop-bar commuter.

There is also a steel fork option on the Fargo.

Definite homemade job. The fork isn't really designed with full length mudguards in mind.
