Look at the spray @ 0:18 seconds in this video. How come I didn't get wet? Maybe you fitted them wrong Steve.

 

[Paul smith]

How do mudguards damage the frame?..i did have one on the back just to stop crap getting on dropper post..really don,t like them myself...

Next time that it rains, I'll make a video with the cam zip tied to the mudguard again. Then we'll see how much water goes up my back.

Better mudguards then a badger stripe up the back.

Anyone got a suggestion for a rear one on a full suspension MTB
It need to fit on the swinging arm, I see mudhugger do one but its £27.50

I didn't realise they had so many Steve. They even do fatbikes.

The front and back guards I use were also expensive @ almost 50 quid for the pair. Ebay mudhuggers weren't that much cheaper either. They're strong and it does seem that they will last a very long time. It's still, a lot of money for a bit of plastic though. You could always put it on the price of the bike, if and when you sell it Steve.

I made a splashguard, for my dog scooter, out of old plastic milk bottles one time. Ghetto and as cheap as it gets. It did the job. But for e-mtb you might have to shell out a bit. The pair I had before cost £12 and snapped off after a month.

Yep think you are right Leigh, will just have to spend some of the hard earned by the look of it.

@Steve A @Paul smith @STEVEMANFA @Benjahmin - Well, it rained and here's the result. You'll bring a just verdict I'm sure.

Being from Wales originally, all of our puddles ended up down in the valley isn't it boyo.

Looks like that works a treat Leigh, may have to part with some notes now
Thanks for the video

Looking at Mtbr and other sites then the performance looks bit lack lustre and no better then other cheaper or equivalent alternatives.
On proper off road winter riding riders are still being splattered in crud.
