Crud Catchers - Mud Guards

[BinBag]

Has anyone else got these on their bikes? I'd put some pics up but we've lost the camera cable in our house......bloody kids!

Must say they work a treat - I did have to modify them with a small hack saw blade, but once on they're a dream. You don't even notice they are there!

And my bum is a lot dryer too!

Happy days!

I had one years ago, they are good, but after a while the rubber mountings break.

Are you talking about the Crud Roadracer guards?

the problem with the rear crud catcher is that you need to remove the seatpost to fit and remove it - for that reason I don't like it.

Yes, the very ones!

Mine hasn't gone anywhere near the seatpost - must be a different model.

I'll have to watch out for that - any idea how long?

Think we're talking about Crud Roadracers - proper mudguards, not those silly mtb things.

I have some of the Mk1 Roadracers. Only thing to take care of is rubbing on the frame/fork attachments and under rear brake bridge and fork. I'd recommend some helicopter tape (available from ebay for pennies) to protect frame/forks as its tough, but almost invisible.

The Mk2 Roadracers are supposed to be even better - is that what you have BinBang?

Yeah - them's the ones! Sorry for the confusion!

Ah right, didn't see that when I searched beforehand. Although looking at the pic, the ones I have, have more protection for the front mech. Can't really tell on this pic though.

Mine are Roadracer mk2's too.

Mine have the extra mech protection... so far so good... but I've not got them wet yet
