Mud guards

A certain bike mechanic I know who likes cider and heavy metal said a funny thing to me about the Crud Roadracers the other day, something along the lines of 'I fucking hate them! The brushes ... they use something touching the tyre in order to stop the guard touching the tyre, how stupid is that?!'*

• I may have embellished this with expletives, I'm not sure.
  
  

Ohhh no I remember said cider drinking bearded man saying that too! And then we both commented on how they make good fake eyebrows :)

(I've used them on my bike set of mudguards! )
