Althepal – that rear mudguard – what/where please?

[althepalSubscriber]

Zefal no mud. Its ok for commuting and towpath but was using it at Cathkin the other day and just kept rubbing the tyre when compressed. Poss needs a bit of fettling..

Turbo 1397 – Thats is lovely!!

Enjoy it, i havent looked back since I got one! soo fast up and down. 🙂

what fork is that? I went 140mm.

[althepalSubscriber]

Yetitony- it was fek all use off road so was taken off after 5 minutes..
Still feel I need something to protect the reverb though!

[robinlaidlawMember]

You don’t. Mines been ridden unprotected in mud over the two years and is still fine.
If you are worried I’d suggest a bit of cleaned up old inner tube slipped over from the bottom of the post and zip-tied in place. You’ll need to allow air in and out somehow so it can breathe or it won’t re-extend.
Lovely bike.
