They are easy to take on and off and fit a wide range of different bikes. The downside is that in attaching to your frame, they run a very real risk of damaging your paintwork - and in extreme circumstances, even your frame. At the front, protection is enhanced with a new dual-height front spoiler, which deflects water and mud onto the wheel and downwards, away from the rider’s face. The rear mudguard utilises an innovative telescopic extension for greater coverage near the seat tube, and everything is held firmly in place with an all-new rubber fastening system to suit a multitude of frame designs, including integrated recesses for brake or gear cables as required. Whereas some road bike mudguards are made from metal for longevity, most off-road mudguards are made from a plastic or polycarbonate type material which is lighter and more flexible. This enables them to better cope with the vibrations and movement caused by rough trails. If the mudguard has stays, then these are sometimes made from metal for better stiffness but the blades are still usually made from plastic. Will mudguards fit on my gravel bike?

With the wide variety of styles and fitments available, there is almost certainly a mudguard that will fit on your gravel bike. Some mudguards require the frame and fork to have specific mounts, whereas others fasten to the bike without the need for mounting points, so whatever bike you have there is no need to endure a wet and dirty ride. How we test Am Hinterrad passen sie an meinem BMC Team Machine nicht weil die Sitzstrebe zu tief ansetzt. Da dies mitterweile bei sehr vielen Rädern der Fall ist, sollte sich SKS da mal etwas einfallen lassen und eine weitere Variante auf den Markt bringen. Whether it’s a jersey that doesn’t fit, or the colour is not quite right, sometimes you’ll need to return items to us. The front mudguard is equipped with a double spoiler. The spoiler in front catches splashing water between the fork and the front wheel and directs it downward. The other spoiler prevents the water from splashing down due to your tyre rotation. This gives you excellent protection against splashing water, mud, and dirt.Finance is subject to application, financial circumstances and borrowing history.

Most of us would prefer to ride a bike without mudguards if possible, so ease of fitting and removal is an also important factor when choosing the right mudguard - they need to be simple and secure to fit if you look out the window and see grey skies at the start of a ride. On the subject of the front Velcro fixing, not only does it get dirty and is awkward to clean, it doesn’t do a very good job either. Even when I’ve tightened it as much as I can manage the guard gradually slips down the fork until it scuffs on the tire. There must be a reason that SKS use a different fixing on the front than the rear (which is used on many other SKS guards, too), I’m just not sure what it is.Full-length mudguards are commonly referred to as traditional mudguards, because they’ve been around for many, many years. They are most often a permanent fixture on touring bikes. Due to their length and sides, they cover a large percentage of both wheels and provide the best protection from spray generated by the wheels. Even if your tire isn’t rubbing on the fenders / mudguards, when the conditions are particularly muddy - and if the clearance isn’t capacious - you’ll end up with a large amount of unwelcome resistance as the accumulating clag acts as a brake on your tire. In particularly muddy conditions, a narrower tire can be the better option, all things considered. If your bike has rim brakes, you’ll usually need long-reach brake callipers, especially if you want to use mudguards with tyres that are 25mm or larger. Another pitfall to be aware of is clearance on the other side of the guards: i.e., how nicely they play with your bags and feet. On smaller frames especially, toe overlap with the front fender / mudguard and giant saddle bags fighting for position with the rear mudguard are real issues.
