SKS Speedrocker Mudguard Set, Black

Product Information

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. Please enclose all your details and a covering note explaining the fault and any other useful details. 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. Mudguards are key to keeping dry – or drier than you’d otherwise be – in typical British conditions. That’s especially true in winter when water tends to stay on the roads for longer. If you’re riding year-round, make sure you have some of the best bike lights to keep you safe too.

Ass Savers aims to make effective guards that are as discrete and lightweight as possible for those with an "if I must" attitude to mud protection. The Fendor Bendor Big rear guard is one of the largest rear guards in the range for gravel bikes and MTBs. The fact that full-length mudguards can only be fitted to frames with the necessary mounts and clearance does limit them, but there are plenty of bikes designed to accept them. Most common are those that fall into the touring/Audax category, with a variety of frame materials including the most common: steel, titanium and alloy. It’s also possible to buy a carbon fibre frame with the necessary eyelets and clearance for these mudguards. He was heavily involved in the mountain bike boom of the late 1980s as a racer, team manager and race promoter, and that led to writing for Mountain Biking UK magazine shortly after its inception. He got the gig by phoning up the editor and telling him the magazine was rubbish and he could do better. Rather than telling him to get lost, MBUK editor Tym Manley called John’s bluff and the rest is history. Mudguards can even offer a performance advantage. Yes, really. By keeping you dry and comfortable, they allow you to train more effectively than if you’re wet and cold. By keeping as much of the water off your body as you can, you're going to be able to ride for longer, and faster, when the roads are wet. Die halten auch sehr gut, selbst bei miesen Straßen und langsam über Kopfsteinpflaster (schnell noch nicht probiert)!Both front and rear guards are supported by a single pair of stays. These are adjustable for length via a small Allen bolt. The stays prevent the guards wobbling as much as other strapon guards, although there was still some vibration from the front guard, particularly the section in front of the fork. To prevent this, it’s worth getting yourself some helitape. This clear tape that is incredibly strong and won’t be worn through by the straps of your guards. It’s almost invisible when the guards are removed, so your frame will stay looking as pretty as ever.

OK, ist ein Universalteil und letztendlich passt es ja dran, wenn auch leidlich ;) Und das mit einer ... funktionalen Optik ;) You’ll be surprised at how much difference they make. Unless it’s raining hard, most of the wetness you feel when riding without mudguards is likely to have come from the road and your tyres. Mudguards keep you drier and more comfortable.

In particularly muddy conditions, a narrower tire can be the better option, all things considered.

Wheel guards thought one step further: with the Speedrocker Mudguard Set from SKS

These mudguards are useful for commuting bikes, especially where clearance might be an issue because of frame design and/or wide tyres. The simplicity of fitting makes them attractive, and they can be whipped off in a minute too. While these mudguards don't provide 100% protection compared to full-length options, they do keep a surprisingly large amount of spray off. 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. Think mudguards aren't cool and that they'll spoil the lines of your bike? Think again. Even professional cyclists fit mudguards to their training bikes through the winter. The fastening system with flexible flaps can be mounted on the frame to suit any geometry. Integrated U-stays with an ESC safety system not only ensure a clean look, but also maximise the available clearance between the tyre and mudguard. Mudguards are also a vital courtesy on group rides. Sit directly behind a bike that’s not fitted with mudguards on a wet ride and you’ll soon realise just how much water tyres can spray up. A long rear mudguard, preferably with a flap, keeps spray out of the face of the rider behind you. Many clubs and riding groups demand mudguards over the winter.
