MUDGUARDS
SPINNERS:
I'm going to put SKS mudguards on my Trek 1200 this week. Any tips on where to position the 'hook' type clip, i.e. in front of the fork, behind or up in the fork underside?
Also, this frame has mudguard eyes but doesn't have a chainstay bridge. Any tips?
Istanbul_Tea:
Up in the fork underside should work just fine.
As for the CS bridge... my brother uses a plastic tie(with notches or teeth)and attaches it to the seattube.
Dave Whittle Thorn Workshop:
For the chainstay bridge it is quite easy to fashion a sort of custom figure of 8 bracket from an old wire coathanger, going round the profile of the guard and round the seat tube.
Peter Gathergood:
Excuae my ignorance - but where exactly is 'up in the fork underside'?
SPINNERS:
You know, that round hole on the underside of your forks! I've seen some mudguard brackets stuck up there suspended on the brake bolt but I've not tried that myself yet.
