Ransom 20 shock mudguard

philscott

I've just bought a Ransom 20 (carbon) and I've got it really dirty first time out, has anyone made (or bought) a mudguard to protect the equaliser shock? Its seems an expensive bit of kit to leave it to all the sh1t around at the moment.

i have a genius, i use a innertube attatched to the bottom tubes, to the top tube and the shock itself. (or i use my hardtail)

I'll have a go with an old inner tube and I'll dig out the Gary Fisher Big Sur for a few more months

My bro's got an 07 Ransom. He made one out of a crud-catcher. He cut it down to about half length and then cable-tied it straight to the shock with the rubber flappy bit facing backwards so it can flex as you move through the bikes travel.

I'll have a dig around in the garage, I've got a spare front mudguard I could cut down so I'll give it a try. Its p1ssing down again so it will be the Gary F tomorrow night on the North Downs

I used the tail end of a crud catcher downtube guard and just used one of the normal rubber band fitments to attach. Took a couple of attempts to get the right length but works great and is almost unoticeable. Even if you don't have one a new one only costs £10.
