Mudhugger/end thread
Mudhugger
On one Fatty trail with 4" tyres and it's another mudhugger lover here.
Mudhugger.
Yup - Mudhugger for me too.
Salsa here but another mudhugger fan
I don't have a Farley but I do have a Mudhugger, it's awesome. Fatbikes definitely benefit from having a LOT of mudguard, since the tyres can throw a lot of water and mud.
Mudhugger 29er...but you may need a hot air gun to get it to the right shape for the wider seat stays.
I had one on my 2021 farley and it needed some "tweaking" with the hot air gun for a decent fit.
I also added their extension piece to make it wider and reduce the chance for a splatter!
Thanks all have muddhuggers on other bikes but those are narrower tyres not seen one on a Farley till now cheers Stan S for pics will go and get one.
I've got the lid off a wheelie bin
I've got an IKEA chopping board.
Mine are made out of old Muk off bottles
PDW mud shovel rear on my Wednesday, good coverage and easy to fit/remove
Cheers for that the PDW looks good and you get it from Charlie bike monger might try one of them.
Over the last 6 years I have used both the PDW shovel and the Mudhugger.
In practice I found the shovel a bit "meh". Ignoring the first one that came un-poppered and disappeared somewhere in Peaslake, the second one suffered from the securing strap slowly working loose letting the guard slip around on the seat post, and being a big cantilevered piece of plastic it tended to make a bit of noise flapping about on the bumpier downhills. But it worked perfectly well for mud protection.
The mudhugger works at least as well against the mud, but is a far more rigid structure and so stays put exactly where you fit it. It's only downside is it takes half an hour or so with a hair drier and cable ties to initially fit it.
Overall my scores on the two options are:
- Shovel 6/10 Adequate
- Mudhugger 9/10 Excellent
SKS Fat Board set, rear plus down tube, on the old Voodoo.
Cheers have a make shift muddynuz under seat at present and that is same material as PDW and that flaps about will go back to mudhugger cheers all.
Put the mudhugger on today left it on heater last night few hours then a bit today and used hair dryer so went on no problem did use six zip ties each side and used thicker ones than are supplied so happy days cheers all for advice.
