Hi folks.
In the UK (despite the current heat-wave) we have weather that 75-90% of the time means it is absolutely "persisting"-down. :-(
I notice that the StreetFox plans do not include any formal provision for mudguards (although this is clearly a user option, and not an insurmountable obstacle).
Looking at the gallery of completed projects I can see that folks have adopted varied approaches to the fitting of these items.
With the StreetFox it is clear that one needs 2 x 20" front guards and a single 26" rear guard.
Does anyone have any recommendations for suitable items available in the UK?
Why do manufacturers seem to insist on selling them as combined Front/Rear pairs? I want 2 x fronts @ 20" x 2.125" and 1 rear at 26" x 2.125".
I have not done this before, so does anyone know if these items can be bought singly in the UK rather than in "sets"?
The big retailers like Cycle-King seem to want to sell "sets" only (I have not tried "Halfrauds" yet).
Regards,
Dan.
