Following on from last weeks Fresh Goods Sunday Blog - B Twin rear mudguard, I also bought the front matching guard. It has the same rrp and comes with three reusable zip ties. The instructions are printed on the back / underside of the guard. In the past I have not had much success with front guards that fir under the bridge / crown area of forks as the clearance has been to tight. This guard is simple and basic with the cut outs preformed for the zip ties to pass through. I was not expecting much for the money but thought what the hell. I tried to fit it so it had the longer section to the rear but with the bridge on my Rockshox being to the the rear I had to turn it around so the longer part goes to the front and the shorter section to the rear. It only took about 5 minutes or so to get it sorted. I did not cut the zip ties too short just in case it needed some adjustment after a few rides. Well after a few rides it has not moved and has not clogged up with mud yet. With the Cube e mtb having a massive downtube I don't suffer from a lot of mud spray coming past the down tube anyway so the longer section to the front of the wheel works better for me. I haven't tested it on really wet mud yet but so far so good for the rrp.
RRP £3.29 and I paid £3.29 from Decathlon, Gateshead.
