Sure, it's this: https://tinyurl.com/2bbkpsj6

Basically an extended recessed nut with rear thread - allows you to attach a front mudguard to the back of the fork crown rather than the front. Ta.

The alternative is to take a standard mudguard nut and run a tap down the back end of it.

IIRC M6 works well and gives enough thread on the Allen socket to hold a mudguard very nicely, though I think the supplied mudguard bolts are M5 so you also need to find a bigger one, and run a drill bit through the mudguard bracket to give clearance.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
