Genesis Day One Cross - Mudguard advice!

[threebikesmcginty]

Any issues with removing the wheel with the guards on?

Haven't had to yet, that back wheel would be a pain if it had to come off, the mudguard would have to come off too.
If it was just a puncture it'd be a repair with the wheel staying on the bike, if possible, as it's an Alfine hub.

There's always the option of fitting these

to the back to give the option of just pulling the mudguard stays out then pushing them back in when you have done.

Thanks for the different suggestions.

I've settled on leaving the rear mudguard stays a bit longer to enable wheel removal, and wiring on the rear bracket onto the brake bridge.

All works fine!

Cheers
