Best Detachable MTB Mudgaurd

Ghuraba · 2 May 2010 at 13:45

Hi there

What are the best detachable MTB mudgaurds that are available? Something around £30 or under.

I was looking at the Topeak Defender M1 & M2 but a friend of mine said they wear and come loose pretty quick.

Thanks

Michael

Cycraguard on the back works for me, for the front i use a mucky nutz thing umm fender bender i think?

Crud Catchers do the trick for me!

I use this at the front:

It keeps the mud out of my eyes, the rest of me is going to get muddy anyway so I don't care about a rear mudgaurd.

I bought one of these recently but there's not much tyre clearance from the wheel arch, so the lower straps rub against the tyre slightly as the wheel turns. Anything I can do about this?

Nope that's why i bought the fender bender, does the same job and there's a bit more clearance, important as run a kenda telonix dtc up front in the winter months.

I don't have any tyre clearance issues even when running the 2.4 Rubber Queens. I guess it might make a difference depending on the fork/tyre combination.

Could try using zip ties to hold them on?
