Mudguards

[Joao Pinto Reis]

Hello |
Your bikes have mudguards?
It is a good accessory to protect the engine and battery?
I researched and found the Zefal M60 kit. It seems to me it's a cool fender.
What you wear?
What do you think of this one?
Any other option?
Or is it rather not use wings?
Cheers

It might be a `cool fender` but will that help when the muck and cruds lashing off the front wheel?

Off Road or Public Highway?

I went for these full-length items, light, strong and reasonably cheap.

I loathe mudguards, but I run a Mucky Nutz front guard throughout the year, to stop crud going into my face, and the scud launcher on the rear, in winter months. I'd rather have no mud guards at all though.

I also use a shock guard during the winter.

Mucky nutz with a crud catcher behind it - still working out the rear arrangement

EddiePJ, i like your bicycle.
It looks very nice.
But you realy ride a lot in mud.
I will just ride in some dirt road and not very good streets.
But thise mudguards seem very cool.
You bicycle is 27,5 or 29?
Mine will be 29, still not have it, yet.

Eddie's is more of an amphibious vehicle than a bicycle the way he uses it! If you put a crud catcher on th he downtube behind the mucky nutz, you should catch most stuff and not get too disgusting on your bike I'm enjoying going offroad.more and more as I have my bike so get some proper mtb guards not boring mudguards as you may find you want to use your bike for pleasure as well as commuting!

James, which are the mtb guards you use?
