Functional bikes. Not Porn not Anti

lovely, cheers for that.

reckon it's possible to run treaded 29er rims with cx tires and full mudguards at the same time, or would it either / both clog up the guards with crap from the tires and stop the wheels moving / require silly geometry?

This bike is running 1.9" bonty XR1s. As you can see you'd need a lot of clearance to fit full guards. Especially with decent mud clearance.

Running those tyres with full mudguards seems a bit sillly to me. I was merely pointing out that if it was my frame. I'd like the option to set the bike up monstercross style on occasion. Whipping the guards off, and wacking on some decent off-road rubber. Once the mudguard stays are cut and adjusted. Its a quick job to fit them again.

A everyday, jack of all trades set-up (for me), would be some 35mm Kenda small block eights, and full guards. But then I like to take gravel paths, and surfaced mountain trails as much as possible.
