What mudguard?

[Hacienda71]

I have a piece of innertube cable tied to the fork brace to stop mud being flicked up into your face. I have used rear mudguards but find they break too easily when you are somersaulting down a hill.

Have you managed to remove it from your bodice yet?

Those mudhuggers look the biz, has anybody fitted a rear one of those under a rack?

If you've got a rear rack, why bother with a mudguard? Just zip tie a piece of thin plastic to the top of the rack.

Done this, but the seat tube still gets clagged up. What I'd really like is some full 29er mudguards.

Yes, I left by the track so the fairies of Mossley can use it as a spade when they dig out their mud pies.

In some areas, a full mudguard would prevent the wheel turning once the space between tyre and mudguard is full of mud.

I'm new to the MTB game, but would something like this fit the bill, depending on the size of your tyres?

Thanks for looking AndyRM, but I run on 29ers

700c = 29er.

I don't think those guards would work. The rears might, but the fronts need the brake caliper boss to be there, which it isn't on most suspension forks.

My tyres seem much bigger! They are 29 x 2's.
I like the look of the mudguards that use the rear stays, instead of the seat post for attaching to...as for the front, I prefer the one that attaches under the front fork (into the tube).
With what I prefer, I won't get a matching set!

 

[MikeW-71]

29" is the same diameter as 700c, for 2" wide tyres, you'd need guards suitable for at least 42mm road tyres.

The more I look at the Mudhuggers, the more I like them!

On my Mondraker 29er i run 2 a full mudhugger setup, i tried everything else from asssavers xl, RRP EnduroGuard and Muckynutz XL fenders and nothing worked, especially on the rear, for a 29er nothing compares to the mudhuggers in my opinion, and thats with a 2.4 tyre. I also bought the little extender for the front mudhugger as per their own advice and its been spot on. Can't praise them enough!!!

Crud guard do a 29er set now,extra 5" of coverage at the rear set of f+r £24,...yes 29" is a 700c rim but that's irrelevant in this case,as any guards marketed 700c are not going to be 3.5" wide!
