I bought Mrs Benb a new bike yesterday - a Boardman MX Sport.
Bargain at 15% off plus another 10% off with my BC membership.

I'd like to fit some mudguards to it.
The rear is no problem; it has a mount on the bridge and the normal eyelets near the dropouts.
The front is an issue though. It has a suspension fork, so no eyelets. It does have a mounting hole on the bridge across the top of the fork though.

Can someone recommend the best way to fit a full length guard, and which guards are best? I guess either one that only mounts on the fork bridge, or P-clips. If P-clips, bear in mind it's a chunky fork being suspension.

I fitted mine using p-clips - big ones as it is also a suspension fork. I could take a photo tonight to show you how ugly it is.

A bad crop with too busy a background - but here you go. P-Clip with rubber backing.

That'll be fine.
I'm going to check whether the forks have a threaded hole on the trailing edge, because if so I'll be able to use these from here.
