Mudguard Recommendations

[Distorted Vision]

I'm looking for mudguards for my Giant Roam 0 2016:

I was looking at either this:

or

https://www.tredz.co.uk/.ETC-Full-Mudguards-with-Stays_45969.htm

Are these both compatible with my bike?

Thanks.

Not sure whether you can use proper fixed mudguards with a suspension fork. You'd be best to ask your LBS what they recommend and to fit them

Should be ok on the back assuming your bike has mounting points

Okay how about this for the front:

and the rear Giant or ETC one for the rear?

Thanks.

Check with your bike shop. Seems silly to buy a pair of mudguards when only one might fit. I'd probably get two clip on type for a suspension hybrid. Especially as presumably you ride it off road and thus get lots of muck on the bike which can get clogged and dangerous if there's little clearance as there would be with a 40mm tyre and a guard that takes max 45

I don't think either of those mudguards will work on a bike with front suspension as they have fixed mounting points.

Read this Tredz article about "what type of mudguard to use" and scroll down to the mountain bike section.

This looks compatible:

They look easy enough for me to fit myself.

Do suspension forks have a fork crown? Do you have a Giant store closeby? Get them to supply and fit (they shouldn't charge much if anything)

Yes I live 10 miles from the Giant Liverpool store. My local LBS are also Giant dealers.

I'm also concerned that there will be insufficient clearance with the mudguards fitting which will prevent me using the storage stands I use:

If you did get some mud guards it might be worth getting a different bike stand?

No, I don't think that will work. You need a hole passing front to back through the base of your steerer tube to bolt the front mudguard to, and looking at the picture you've posted above you don't seem to have one.

Suggest visiting your local Giant LBS as others have advised. Mudguards can be a pain to fit and if you don't get it right it will only drive you nuts

These look suitable for the front:

Right?

your bike does not have mounting points for a front guard......I have used these on a giant mtb, from winstanleys,and found them ok, the first two items on the page are what I had.....
