New owner - mudguard advice

[Hairsy]

Hi,

I am new to the forum so hello.

I have just ordered a Cube Reaction Hybrid Race. Very exciting.

I am a fan of front mudguards on my mountain bikes (it's OK, I've never been cool). The Cube website tells me that the bike will come with mountings for mudguards. I'm keen to get something that will make use of those mounts, rather than my usual cable tie approach.

A bit of googling has not yet led me to anything appropriate. The closest was the RRP ProGuard Bold On but that doesn't list Rockshox as a compatible fork (my bike has Rockshox Judy Silver).

Can anyone recommend a suitable front mudguard?

Thank you.

Welcome!
Cube do some pretty good mud guards, have you had a look on their website?
Here’s a pick of my clockwork from a few years back. Not the prettiest, but get the job done.

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, I've had a look at Cube's website but I can't find any that specifically say that they will use the mounts. Seems a shame to have the mounting system and then still use cable ties!

For those interested, I dug out an old seat post mounted mudguard for the rear and then bought a Crud XL Fender for the front. I'm really pleased with how they've done. Picture taken after 34km with a fair amount of muddy sections.

Them should do the trick? I like the colour BTW.

Cast your eyes over Mudhugger's website. These are what I use.

That model won't work with a dropper seat post.
I also have the Cube ones. Both clip on or off relatively easily without cable ties.

Do you have pictures? Would be great to see them.

Ummm On my bike.
Here they are on my old bike.
Important on the rear guard is to mount it high enough that it doesn't get hit by the rear wheel when you hit a bump. I initially mounted mine under the top tube and smashed it off. It should have been obvious I guess.

Bought these for my Stereo Hybrid 140 Race and work really well, look cool in a MotoX kinda way too. Best £30 I've spent TBH.

You can try mudguards from Mudhugger. It's a little bit expensive, you know, but you have the option to design and order your own decals for this. The mudguards are black but you can put those decals. The Vorova has an online software to design with milions of posibilitiea. Also the mudguards are the best ones, maybe a little bulky but will protect from mud on your back
