  • I have never bothered until now - this year has been so wet that I have bought some raceblades to finish the 'summer' ( :lol: ) off with and fully intend to stick them on the winter bike after the salt goes down.
    No mudguards = wet @rse = uneccessary chafing! :shock:
    Spring!

    Wetness on bike never bothers me, its only when getting into wet shots it really bothers me.

    Mudguards are not only to protect you they are to protect the poor guy following you!

    Yea I guess, I do wish the guy in front had mudguards sometimes, the amount of water I have got in my mouth is insane, could really taste the strong salty taste :lol:

    But even with mudguards it still gets flicked up just not as bad.
  • The easy way to beat the spray coming up from the rider infront is not to ride directly behind him/her.
    If you're scared of getting a bit of a wet @rse then just don't go out in the wet and if it starts to rain get home as quickly as you can! 8)

    Can we fix it?
    Yes we can!
