You've got it! Thanks for sharing!

Hi brummie,

Yes here you go  :o



A close up



Here is a close up of the Mounting



And closer



Here is a link about it  http://www.topeak.com/products/Fenders/DeFenderM1

I hope this help's, Why not a STD Fender?
Because there is too little room to fit under my V-Brake cross cable with 2.3" Mountain Bike Tyre.
It work's great, I just have to adjust the angle of the front part   8)

Looks absolutely tailor-made for the purpose, Pete. Please, can you also tell us about the rear mudguard as well?

Thanks!

Hi Dan,
I was just about too! Here you go.
But note: i'm about to change it about to a new wider/longer one  8)



and from the top!



And here is the link http://www.topeak.com/products/Fenders/DeFenderM2

And here is the New one I have that i'm going to replace it with! http://www.topeak.com/products/Fenders/defender_xc11_29er

I remove the mounting's, the new one is going to be mounted with "P" clips. Yes the new one is for a 29"er be that is why it's bigger and longer  8)

Pete . . . .

Outstanding, Pete; thanks!

These surely do compliment the appearance of your Nomad and look as if Thorn had them designed for the bike. Sort of a combination of the best features of conventional mudguards and a CrudCatcher all in one. Well found, and -- like you entire build -- beautifully assembled. Your background in motorcycle and bike mechanics really shows to advantage!

All the best,

Dan.
