mudguard extension

Post by RIP »

Fed up with a wet bum? Something us pensioners suffer from all too often.

Yes I know, but also because our Mudhuggers aren't long enough. Existing installation just given up the ghost after a few years sterling service and dry bum, so time to hack up a new 2.2L milk container and attach with gaffertape.

Reinforces that tramp vibe, alongside the hyperlight cableties/gaffer bottle cage and velcro bar bag holder (harness too weighty).

I'll drop them a line....

Alternatively just make the whole guard out of milk containers and cableties and save your money.

I'm not proud of getting milk in containers instead of bottles but nobody left round here I don't think :sad: . Also, I tried making the extension out of glass bottles but it didn't work quite as well.

I must say, that I find a mere 4" extension to be entirely adequate...to my mudhugger....
Oh dear, guess where this is going....

Plus to further take this down the Wrong Track, width is sometimes more important than length....

Oh dear, I'll get me coat.
