Mudguards

I haven't really done wet weather riding yet with my new bike, and I can't find the subject which enquired about them...
Anyway, the subject mentioned something about the fact that small guards that protected the forks, etc (can't remember the technical name for them) are better than standard ones.
Maybe some suggestions, or maybe you could steer me to that topic?

Mucky Nutz, easy to fit or remove, weigh next to nothing, don't flap and rattle about and they look good too!
They don't completely stop you getting dirty, but you're into the wrong sport if you're bothered by that too much0 -

I use a mudhugger on the front works great has a better curvature around the wheel, made some velcro straps so it's easy to take off and clean.
Thinking of buying the race version for abit more coverage over the top of the wheel.
I've got a crud catcher on the rear works ok, only tend to use it on rides into work.0 -
Ross Gardner,
What do you want to protect? The fork, your face, your trousers or your back?
If everything mentioned, only full size mudguards will work:
And even with them your shoes will be dirty when you cross a puddle.
If you do not mind having some mud on your back, you can go for smaller mudguards which is easy to put and remove.0 -

I just really want to protect the bike to be honest. If I'm going to go out in the wet, I'll plan my apparel accordingly.WinNT wrote:If everything mentioned, only full size mudguards will work:
For some reason, large mudguards look wrong. It's like, "I don't know art, but this isn't it."WinNT wrote:And even with them your shoes will be dirty when you cross a puddle.
Don't care. I've got the shoes for riding, and they are getting used. Overshoes I could get if pushed.0 -
I have purchased the Mucky Nutz face fender and Gut fender. Thanks for the advice.0
