Giant Anthem mudguard help.

oxoman

Has anyone come across a mudguard that I can fit to cover the rear suspension and front mech on my Anthem, have already fitted an Enduro guard to the front but cannot use one on the rear as only one side of the maestro linkage to fix to. Assistance appreciated.

DIY job with an old inner tube. I don't remember much censored hitting the back of my rear shock, it's more likely to get censored from the front wheel.

I've got the same problem on my Anthem 29er and I'm in the process of making my own using the same material as the censored Fender. I'm going to zip tie it to the two uprights. Only got as far as the cardboard template at the moment.

I'm with Rockmonkey on this, the rear shock on my trance is probably the cleanest part of the bike and I don't run any sort of guard. The brace between the chain stays and the seat tube both do a very good job of protecting the shock.

Never had a problem with mud on the rear shock, stayed clean even though this much mud being thrown about:

Not trying to cover the shock but more the suspension linkages and front mech as as shown in windys pic it gets pretty clogged up. Cannock and Sherwood mud gets very destructive if not careful hence trying to protect it.

I think you can use the ENDUROGUARD for the rear - there's some 'snap-off' areas that make it fit better on the rear to protect shock & linkage.

Found this pic:

Looked at that as I have one on the front but trying to cover the mechanism area a bit lower down and the suspension linkage has only got a strut on one side. Suspect it will be a homemade version along the lines of the enduro guard.

There are several templates online in the enduroguard style - perhaps you could download one and adapt it to be longer etc.

I made mini versions for the kids bikes a while back that way.

Cheers Dirk, will have a trawl and see what I can find.

Got a MuckyNutz Face Fender (XL) on my anthem x 29er at the back, does the job well.http://www.muckynutz.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=27_15





I have one on the front as well and I use them in conjunction with a rear crud raceguard in the winter, but just leave the front and back muckynutz on all year round.

Mudguards make baby jesus cry ; (

They're only to keep the front Mech and linkages relatively clear of cannock grinding paste in the wet not to keep my butt clean and dry. So BJ won't be crying, any way I'm an atheist except for births deaths and marriages.
