Fitting mudgaurds. It's raining
Any bright ideas about fitting a mudguard to a carbon fork that's not drilled at the crown as its disc braked? Currently cable ties but that's 2/10 for looks. Drilling through doesn't strike me as a bright idea. Drilling up seems less drastic and fitting a small self taper but I am still reluctant. Anyone tried self adhesive Velcro? 1 bit to the fork and the other to the guard? (the latter could be fixed more effectively and I suppose the fork could use a decent glue).
Got to be a really clever idea out there.
At the bottom I made a fairly neat clip out of rubber for the right and used a right angle tab from the top caliper bolt to the guard stay. That is nice and tidy.

Is the fork full carbon? If you are prepared to drill a clearance hole into the underside of the fork crown then you could maybe use an insert like this, depends on how thick the carbon is at that location.

However you would probably need to epoxy it in place to stop it rotating when you screw the mudguard fixing in. All this will invalidate your fork warranty I would think.0 -
This guy seemed to get away with drilling through just below the fork crown but I reckon his were steel rather than carbon forks
