Full Mudguards, MTB, 26" wheel and not eyelets

tptvmbircn

Hello,

for a number of commuting reasons there is no better than the full mudguard. where my bike fails is it does not have rear eyelets. with it having a steel frame the rear stays are very thin and pclips rattle away.

again i'm looking to purchase a second set after the first ones died slightly due to this reason. so for a rhobust fit is there any reccomendations out there. its a 2004 salsa ala carte frame, 18" for reference.

Thanks

Purchase any p-clips (lbs are good for these) and pack them out to size with electrical tape or the rubber shims that come with lights (again lbs)

Your lbs might also have a few different sized p-clips so you can get shorter ones.

P clips come in several sizes. You need smaller ones.

bring on the mechano (or some other form of metal)!

Pieces of old inner tube are VERY good for packing out around narrower tubes to make a larger diameter. Just a tip.

Visit a framebuilder and have a couple of 'barrel' fixings brazed on at the bottom of the seatstays. Minimal amount of paint will need removing. Cost: about £10.

@dilemma - i'm handy with an innertube or two oo err :oops:

@Berk Bonebonce - just what i was thinking, looking to get it all done again and add the brazed additions onto the bill
