Decent rear guard that looks good.

[Kona-Ian]

Always thought rear guards look crap.
Where I'm riding lately there seems to be lots of large stones flicking up and chipping my paint.
Is there a rear guard that looks good?

No but old style cruds are cool. (With the arms)

Have got a nice front Crud..
Will look for this rear guard.

Looks a bit Grandad though... no offence intended

You mean in the way that a streak of brown up the back of your trousers doesn't make you look like Grandad? :shock:

No mudguards is fine in California, in the UK it's different unless you like fixing stuck seatposts. :facepalm:

Wouldn't get seatpost stuck. Mine are 26.8mm instead of 27mm.

Re:

Have a Crud Race Guard, similar to the above but fixes to the seatpost. Quite good. VGC. The rubber shims are long gone but easy to replace. £7.00 posted if you are interested....

Re:

If you're worried about chips maybe some helitape is needed. A seat post mounted guard will be no use .However I've used a Zefal No Mud and placed it well back of where it should be. That would work and then the Crud guard keeps the muck off my back.
