It’s a fact; we all love screaming through the mud on our bike, but sometimes that dirt splatter can be a little tough to wear. Our clever Technical Lead, Jimmy, has pulled together an easy step-by-step guide to create mudguards, for use with our GMX+ or GXR (Kevin) forks. This is the perfect project for those with the DIY spirit.
Below you’ll find a list of materials needed, how to instructions, plus the patterns available for download for both the front and rear mudguard. We have also included a couple of videos to show correct attachment to your bike!
Let us know how your mudguards turn out! Tag us with @curvecycling, and use the hashtag #craftswithjimmy in your photos.
