I've got dmr v8 pedals and they work well with my dc skate shoes. don't think I've seen it mentioned but gloves might be a good idea, I got some endura's they're very comfortable.

Try reading what I wrote and you'll see it was sensible....rather than what you think I wrote!

Also mud clogging depends very much on the mud, I ride on a very clay-ey soil, I have seen crud catchers mounted 2" from the tyre pick up enough mud to start rubbing and once seen a front wheel look like a TT disc wheel as the spokes were full of mud......

Have your tried one?

The point of the design is that it is very close to the tyre and they self clear. Dont know how or why, but they do. And you can't get more clayey or claggy than the Wyre Forest.

They are pretty much the best mudguards you can get (rear at least) for comprehensive protection. Whether this is something your after (some people feel more manly riding without guards) or the aesthetics are to your taste is obviously personal choice. But if you want the best mud guards, these are them.

They are ok but never seem to actually stay inline with the rear wheel and get in the way if you ride any really steep sections.

A handful of first aid bits comes in useful on a rare occasion. Large plasters, anti-septic wipes, gauze and bandage... they don't weight or cost much.

RM, I think you're thinking about the Muckynutz? The Mudhuggers are rock solid and attached to your seat stays.

sigh, if you really have to play this game and discuss semantics.

You wrote "Look like they will just fill with mud and clog....."

Which is a negative message, likely to put "Total NOOB" off the product.

I wrote "they don't just clog with mud. People shoot sometimes from the hip with advice on here. "

If you want to argue you were not giving 'advice,' just commenting on how they look, go right ahead and have your word game fun. But whatever your wording, as a regular poster on the forum people are going to act on your thoughts & 'advice.' I certainly have in the past. If it looks like advice and smells like advice....

Exactly, well done, look like, not will or did, which is what you were complaining that I had in effect said.

Still think they LOOK LIKE they will in the mud I ride in.
