Mudguards

sharp mudguard stays are really bloody easy to hurt yourself on

It's true. Especially on tour

Ok here's a whinge: Why the F have sks introduced a white MG (raceblades and chromop) around 2009, only to stop supying them within a couple of years? White mg's rule! Hi viz innit!

Nobody tell me they now do 'cream'. Yuck.

You can get Bluemels with a reflective stripe down each side.

True.

But not white. I like the Elvisyness of white.

Vegas years, obv.

Nice one. As a noob mudguard fitter, what are you using the loctite for?

Happy with my SKS Longboard Road Mudguard ... but annoyed from the front end ruttling and not being in line with the fron tyre. I tried everything. Any suggestion?

so you dont have to over torque nuts and bolts where you don't have to ..

Bending the stay may help, but with plastic mudguard, not much you can do as they don't usually stay true.

Thanks

Does anyone know if the PDW guards can be fitted to mid-fork eyelets?

Cruds had their first outing today. Not as noisy as I feared and my ride buddy said they were ok.

Say what you want about SKS guards, the customer service is exemplary. Asked to buy a replacement arm that I bent installing raceblade XLs and they just sent out a complete new set, arrived from Germany in 5 days. God bless ze Germans

Yep- they can indeed. Needed to shorten the stay a little though. Fitted to my Arkose as below:

Awesome, thank you!

Agree entirely. SKS sent me a new hose/head for my Rennkompressor after I emailed them saying the head they used to supply with them was crap, totally free of charge.

Last year I seem to remember there was a sketch showing road spray and how effective mudguards of different lengths are... A friend just fitted an ass saver to his dedicated winter build and I want to highlight his stupidity.

Does anyone know where I can find it? My googling isn't working.

Just ask him how he keeps all the parts of him that aren't his crack dry.

Perfect... Thank you.

Ass savers, off the chart.

I've tried the Ass Savers, the only highlight of it is that if you ride with a cut out, it reduced the amount of spray directing into your nether region with a slight resemblance to a plain looking vagina.

Ass Savers are good at their stated purpose. A friend also said they're useful in wet road races, where keeping your bibs dry confers a big comfort advantage over people without 'em.

where keeping your bibs dry.

Which part?
