My son actually fell asleep! Then my daughter woke up.
Tried fitting the guards. The front one fits okay, but it stops pretty short under the basket and at the back of the wheel, the coverage isn’t great. I put the flap on the bottom of guard to get more coverage, but I’d have to cut about 5cm off of it and punch new holes so it doesn’t scrape the ground.
I don’t have photos of the rear on the front, but coverage is a lot better. This goes all the way under the basket and around the wheel closer to the ground. I can also mount it to the bottom of the rack to be more stable as well as there is an eyelet there.
With both of the guards I’m going to have to figure out a way to bend the struts up because the fork has mid fork mounts. On a positive note, clearance over the tyre doesn’t seem to be an issue.
