Re: The MTB thread
Does anyone fit mudguards to their bikes? Or is it not the done thing?

Re: The MTB thread
Yes, I've got a front guard & I'll fit a rear one sometime
Front one stops dirt getting flung in your face. Even if its only a Crud Guard under the down tube

The MTB thread
Yip got crud guards on down tube and guard on rear, on my MTB. I'd say having a sh&t strip is not the done thing!

Re: The MTB thread
Cruds front and rear, and a diy inner tube p..s flap on the forks. Most of the trails by me are shared with horses and cows, don't want that lot spraying up!!!

Re: The MTB thread
I have a Crud one on the front of my daily. The spare guard I have is more of the motorcross style one but I thought this may look a little over the top.

Re: The MTB thread
I've got a 29er crudcatcher on the back and the downtube but still got it in the face when it was sloppy mud/dung. Added a mucky nutz bender fender XL which extends forward and now no longer eat mud and stay much cleaner than others I'm riding with.
