Hi all

Bought a front crud catcher for my boardman comp and I cant fit it because the fixing bands and the gaurd itself interfear with the two gear cables that run underneath the lower frame tube :( I have been looking at these http://www.evanscycles.com/product.jsp?style=14833 and if I am reading the description right it sounds just what I need . Have any of you fitted this gaurd on a bike with the same cable routing as mine ? If you have how do they fix and not touch the cables ? Cheers

    could the bands not go under the cables? if not then maybe try zip-ties

    Hi ya

    Tried that and the bands are thick enough to foul the cables :( Also I'm not happy with how close the actual gaurd is to the cables ! Thanks anyway but think I may have a look at the dirt monkey one if I can get some info from anyone on here thats got one.

    I've used a crud on 2 bikes with cable routing on the down tube, just go down the local hardware shop for some skinny long zip ties.
