  • OK- so is there a way to attach a full length rear mudguard to the Pre Cursa? The drop outs have eyelets, but I'm at a loss whether it's possible to fix to bottom end of the guards to the frame between the chain stays- any ideas?

  • Zip tie on both side of the chain stay.

  • Cheers Ed- you think that would be secure enough to stop the guard rattling about?

  • Provide you tighten it nicely, there's only one direction it can go, and it's toward the BB.

    The other, if messy option, is a p-clip on both side long each for each one to overlap, and zip tie it there (Or bolt it with some imagination).

  • i suppose it's my only option short of swapping the frame for a FXE..... I wasn't too keen on one due to the lack of dropout inserts on the newer FXE frames- maybe it's less of an issue that I had thought. The FXE is certainly the frame I'd have chosen had Dolan not removed the inserts

  • Oh there is no chainstay bridge, I would try do something like ed suggests with pclips from experience using zipties will definitely rattle no matter how tight you think they are!

  • Yes- a p-clip was what I had in imd when I bought the frame- but i didn't realise that there was no chainstay bridge to attach it to....

    The comments offer some interesting solutions though, plenty to mull over- cheers
