Back in the 90's (early) everyone had a crud catcher at the front, but the rear was on a ball joint and came with reflective stickers. It flipped up at the rear and a sticker with two eyes was usually placed here. Does any obe know what these rear guards was called?

    Was it a Crud Guard? It's going to annoy me now, and I've got one in the garage somewhere

    Edit - This is the Crud Guard:

    However, that doesn't have the balljoint you mention and it's not the one I have. The balljoint allowed you to adjust the angle of the mudguard

    I know what you mean, because it allowed me to hang on to the back of it whilst off to the side of the bike (pedalled by my brother) as I was on my skateboard :) that would make it a late 80s product though

    No, a bit similar. it was a black thing that flicked up at the rear. Had like fox eyes and other stickers in that silver spinny reflective stuff. Its killing me not remembering lol!!! Everyone had one. Had it on my Raleigh max ha. Fox guard maybe. But not the fox brand I dont think. When I hear it i'll know.

    Wolf guard or wulf guard they were. I never had one but I remember them, they were too short to be any good iirc.

    Edit: these?

    Sometimes, my autistic traits have a use :D (For the easily offended at least one of my children is on the spectrum and there's a chance it's hereditary)
