Depends on what fork you have surely?
Suspension or rigid?
Mudguard eyes on it?

Also depends how big a tyre you have on it.

It's the rigid on-one fork... It does have some eyelets thought they were for a rack tho... It's got some new marathon shoes on the now so hopefully that won't change for a few K's

I put these on mine does have 1.75 road type tyres on now tho, can take up to 2.1 apparently.
EDIT also used a 'problem solver fender flute' from Charlie the Bikemonger to get over the mudguard on a mountain bike fork issue

Looking at the On One rigid fork I think you need a set of clip on ones as you don't have an eyelet at the top of the fork to attach the guard or fender flute to.

I had the On-One forks on a 29er.
I think you need to find a front 'guard that will fix to the underside of the steerer tube.
I got some SKS Beavertail guards and drilled a hole in the front one, then put a star nut into the steerer from below, and held the guard in place with a headset top cap and bolt.
It worked remarkably well and was pretty firmly held In place.

You could get a Full front mudguards and use some P-clips on the fork legs to hold the mudguard stays in place.

Or drill holes in the mudguards, and put a couple of zip ties around the fork crown.

Those are for V-brakes unforts

This is what I'd be doing. With a long enough bolt it would work quite well!! 🙂

I've just done this. Axle runners for the stays and drilled a hole in the fork. I needed to drop the top attachment so used an adaptor for a rack,two holes about 25mm apart. I can send a photo tomorrow if it helps.

Guards are SKS Bluemels, cheap to try it out.

OK that didn't work. Anyone know how I can make Google Drive photos visible to people outside my domain?

This is always the problem! The most popular photo website on this forum seems to be postimage

Good work, thanks for posting!

Looks like you had some fun getting it all to work! What are those axle runners? They look super useful- and nice with the anodising also!

Axiom Axle Runners by the looks of it.

P clips would work too: better if you regularly remove the wheel, and if you use a disc brake they could be mounted up the leg above the disc brake mount.

Yes Axiom Axle Runners. I did think about p clips but i was lazy and these meant that I didn't have to worry about measuring tubes etc.
