Show me your Gravel bike with mudguards

I’m after a set of guards for my Sonder Camino AL so please inspire me with some photos of your bikes with mudguards on.

thanks

It ain’t the best looking of bikes, it a bit of a Trigger’s broom, but it does the job.  SKS Blumels and 35mm tyres.

I have 2 very nice other bikes (MTB and Road), but this gets used just as much (wet roads, gravel, local errands, turbo trainer).  Could really do with a wider range rear cassette and a larger chainring.

Lawn needs work, wall needs repointing – tell it to Royal Parks!

SKS Bluemel 53mm with 47mm WTB Byways.

Haven’t got a handy pic but I have SKS Edge AL guards and they are the best I’ve ever used, and I’ve had quite a few different ones over the years. Rigid, rattle free, look great.

I wouldn’t say it had improved the looks but it’s surprising how much more enjoyable a winter ride is when you are not spraying your front and back with cold muddy water all the time 🙂

It looks like you guys all have a decent set up.

Wtb Riddler 700×45 – Halfords guards (cos they were cheap) – they are a tight fit

(Sold on now)

I can’t….mainly because the ones that I spent 60 quid on from CRC don’t fit 😭

They’re the sks edge Al….you can have them cheap if they’ll fit your bike. Actually, are you in Scotland? Might be a faff!

No pictures to hand but I have Velo-Orange Zepplins on my Pipedream ALICE. A bit pricey, yes, but no rattling when fitted properly and aren’t offensive to the eyes so makes it worth it for me.

Cannot stand things rattling while I’m riding. Drives me potty.

While we’re on it – anyone experience of Flinger Deluxe guards?

My chainstays are 51mm wide at the tyre – My preferred SKS AL’s would not fit with current tyres. All SKS are 45/46mm, so maybe 38mm tyre max. I’ve a (large) 36mm tyre on now…

The Flingers are 50mm exact, so giving an extra couple of mm of tyre girth while fitting the frame neatly, even with some protective tape…

Another one with SKS Blumels. I haven’t cut the stays to length as they wouldn’t fit back on the bike I took them off!

I don’t know how that link appeared at the bottom, I noticed it too late to edit out!

Boring pic in the garage. Mudhugger on front and ass saver on the back.

BBB City guards- cheap as chips. Plenty of room  with a 42mm tyre, a bit of a squeeze with 47s

Need to sort photos but SKS 53mm guards and 700×50 Wtb venture and I’ve got clearance, just.

There since really nice bikes on here.

@bruneep – great photo.

I think the 2nd set up @rocketdog has is probably best for me. I  hate mudguards but a wet arse and swallowing crap on rural roads is no fun

The mudguards are a revelation for keeping me dry in clean on some of the shitiest rides I’ve ridden for a while.

As soon as a friend saw the mudguards in person he went to get some for himself. Fantastic guards.

OK, so here’s a newbie question, sorry:

I have a gravel bike. I use it for muddy stuff sometimes, and for manky wet roads sometimes. Not keen on having mudguards in proper mud – I assume they’ll get gummed up even though my tyres are not very knobbly. But I’d like to have them for dirty wet roads…

So, are any of these proper mudguards sufficiently quick and easy to pop on and off, that you’d be happy doing that pretty much before every ride?

@gray the gravelhugger front is held on with rubber O rings and the rear one has the option of fitting with Velcro straps, so both quick on and off .

Gray – once you’ve set them up, SKS Speedrockers can be put back on in a couple of minutes, tops.

I think if you’re encountering that much mud you’ve either picked the wrong route or the wrong bike.
Gravel bike tyres don’t tend to pick up as much mud. I went on a ride which had a very muddy section with my guards on and there wasn’t any issues but did hose it all out when I got home. I do have a decent clearance between guards and tyre so that may have helped.
Can’t stand clip on ones myself. Never seem to be as good. Wobbly, rattly, and the fixings aren’t going to be happy with them being taken on and off every ride.

Zeal Swan and Croozer on mine, keeps the worst off and no clearance issues

What’s this banks near me malarkey?

^^^ dunno, came off my postimage link, bit odd..

It’s up above too 🤔

^^^^ I see my bike pic and that text beneath it and when I click the picture it goes to the postimage page. Dunno what others see ?

SKS Speedrockers on mine. Easy to fit, easy to take off, look okay.

@iainc are your guards with the stock tyres and wheels? I have the same bike and could do with some guards. I was going to get a set of full guards, but no idea which ones will fit.

^^^ yes, all stock. Ideally the guards would be a few mm wider but they are good enough for road spray and muck on gravel paths. Big bonus is they go on and off in seconds and don’t rub on anything.
