Mudguards at this time of year.

I asked about this in my LBS. They said spray your shorts/trousers/tights with Scotchguard waterproofer. Sounds like a solution. I confess that I did buy a rear mudguard but discarded it as it looked camp.

Guess it could come down to if you ride from/to home etc. Most of my rides involve at least an hours drive there (and back obviously), so its nice not to be completely caked. Whereas if I was riding back to my doorstep I wouldn't be so bothered.

Waterproof shorts- 9/10 cats preferred it to trenchcock. But my HT has a mudguard on too.

Indeed waterproof shorts ftw.

However I do use a crudcatcher up front simply because 1. it doesn't look pap and 2. I actually want to be able to see where I'm going and not got a face full of watery mud.

No mudguard for me, although I do occasionally use a front crud catcher in an attempt to keep my bottle clean. Doesn't normally work though.

Mudguards. If you rode in some of the mudfests I go to you would as well.

You may talk a lot of sh1t, but most of us have a bum at the back.

Sans guard.

Everything is going to be muddy anyway, not much difference if your arse is also. Big guards at the back get knocked out of position all the time and catch on the wheels from what I've seen of them. And look ghay.

Only one I do is a NeoGuard on the front to reduce the amount of mud in my eyes.

Ive put a mudguard on so i dont need to change or put something on the carseat! i caked it in mud once and took ages to clean up!

Point of order! He said mudguards, didn't specify which end.

I think the 'or wet bum' might have given you a hint.
