Putting on mudguards
Mudguards are one of the easiest pieces of gear to attach to your bike, requiring no tools, or too much muscle work. They will protect you from the unwanted splatters of mud and city grime and are an absolute winter riding essential.
For this we used the SKS Raceblade XL Mudguard Set from Zyro which you can get for £28.49 (RRP £37.99) at from Chain Reaction Cycles.
Place the mudguard to your bike frame directly over the tyre, so that there’s is enough room and resistance for your wheel to move underneath.
Then secure it to your bike frame using the provided fasteners, making sure to cut them so that there’s a 2 cm strip left at the end of the fastener (not pictured), so that they don’t interfere with your spokes.
Then pop the mudguard spoiler on the end for added spray protection and repeat the same process on the other wheel!
