TYPES OF MUDGUARDS

TYPES OF MUDGUARDS

There are a range of different mudguards available, depending on the type of scooter, frame and riding you do, all with different levels of protection, ease of installation and practicality.

Full Mudguards

These are considered classic; long, v-shaped and made of stainless steel, you can attach full mudguards to the frame via eyelets. To use the full mudguard, you’ll need to have existing eyelets fitted to the rear dropouts and the bottom of the forks to be screwed in directly.
These allow you full coverage, with some options offering an additional rubber flap at the tail that will also protect your fellow riders.
Full mudguards are easy to fit without any need for fettling, but make sure of the following:
• Their width is compatible with your tyres
• You have mudguard eyelets on your frame and forks

Clip-on Mudguards

This is the go-to option for cyclists with frames not fitted with mudguard eyelets. It’s the second-best option for excellent coverage, offering a long guard with a clip-on system.
Clip-on mudguards are attached via toughened rubber bands or P-clips on the back and fork blades. These will be thinner than full mudguards but still provide great protection from unwanted splashes. You’ll be able to fit these on any frame while staying lightweight and easy to replace.

Seatpost Mounted Mudguards

Seatpost-mounted mudguards offer protection only for your rear to keep your back nice and dry. These are attached via your Seatpost, provide essential protection and will fit any bike with a seatpost.
Note that this means your feet will get wet but are easy to install and remo

HOW DO I CHOOSE A MUDGUARD?

As a general rule of thumb, if your frame and fork are fitted with eyelets, it’s best to go for the traditional full mudguards. Otherwise, opt for the alternative clip-on mudguards. For casual riders, you can go for the seatpost mudguard.
You’ll also need to consider the type of bike you have and the terrain you’ll be riding on. Then think about where your mudguards sit or what you’d like them to protect. For example, your front wheels can spray your feet and might be the main focus to protect, and there are different mudguards for different parts of the bike.

Front and Rear Mudguards

Mudguards protect cyclists in different ways depending on whether they are fixed to the front or back of the bike.
Rear mudguards are generally fixed behind the saddle, above your back wheel. If you have a mountain bike, go for a model that fixes onto the seat post. This kind of mudguard is less effective against mud, but the advantage is in its increased sturdiness so that it won’t touch the wheel at all.
Front mudguards are fixed to the fork or underneath your bike’s frame to offer maximum protection from dirt and splashes. They can ensure any splashes don’t impede your vision.
