I've had a set of SKS Chromoplastic mudguards for a few years now. They've been great but for some reason I never put the front one on. No idea why but that's where I am.
Recently I found the front mudguard and stays. It has the black, plastic bottom piece I think it's called the securiclip or something. What I don't have a clue about is where the top bolt part and the plastic part that goes over the ends of the stays.
Do you know where I can get just the bolts and cover parts for a front mudguard?
I think I have seen full stays and bolts but I'm curious if there is anywhere selling just those top bits. I never put the plastic boots over the rear stays neither so perhaps I don't need those parts just the bolts that secure the guards to the stays.
If they're not available I might just get a full set of attachment parts and keep the unneeded stays for just in case reasons. Then lose the unused bolts and bits like I did with the original ones.
Many thanks if anyone knows where I can get just what I need rather than everything else in the guards set.
Actually, as an aside. Are there better road bike guards available now? I use 37mm tyres on 700c wheels. It's a road / commuter / gravel-ish sort of bike. So I'll go off-road a little with it occasionally. It's been ok doing green and blue bike trails with the gear guard on. Think front guard is more of a risk doing that sort of thing.
