@Hulsroy even you would not be expected to know absolutely everything about bikes! 🙃 @JacqueLucque , interesting you say that as I have been picking away at it with my nails all evening, and it's been...manageable? But I did get totally soaked in rain back home, and I've found I can extricate it when I wash my bike usually. The inside of my guards, on the other hand... @MisterMikkel that's amazing, thank you! I've just used it to have a go on my front guard, looks good without the stays bolted in properly and after a wee little bit of fettling.
After getting thoroughly soaked and miserable on the ride home, I decided to keep the front guard fitted until the rear arrives (hopefully by mid-week), so that at least my feet and socks stay dry. Reminds me I definitely love how this bike looks be-fendered; monstercross might have to wait another time.
You're welcome - it seems you made good use of it. That front setup looks spot on!
Sadly I haven't had an excuse to use it myself, as I haven't needed to install metal 'guards for some time.
