Super_mil Posted December 19, 2012 Share Just make use of a 2L COKE bottle and cut to shape and strap in with cable ties.When the bottle gets damaged just use another one ,very cheap and effective. But maybe it is an image issue ? The other option is to split an old tube and to zip tie it between the fork crown and the lower arch. Alternatively you can buy a neoprene version of this.http://vimeo.com/23496103# http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Images/Models/Full/27830-1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never got to use them. But yeah, we noticed at DH world champs that the mosh guard types were more popular amongst the pro's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pieter1 Posted December 19, 2012 Share I guess its efficiency might be dependant on speed and angle. The Marsh Guard (on which the Momsen was based) is widely used on European DH trails. Speeds are high, and the bike is generally angled downwards. One may find that at lower speeds, and on flatter trails or even climbs, the mud spray pattern is rather different, thus rendering the guard less effective. Right or wrong, I dunno?! Just a thoughtThe angle cant really be changed as they are cable tied to the arch of the fork. Mine always has mud on it, but so does my face.

Bos Posted December 19, 2012 Share ok, so I was browsing the Momsen site and saw this... ...Oversize design? those things are crazy skinny!...Ideal with riser bars (looks cooler)?! Either the Momsen guys are having a laugh with a little sarcasm and joking on their product descriptions... or they have no clue what they're on about. Hopefully for anyone using their products, it's the former. I have used these on a stage race and bent the barend on one very soft dismount.. and yes they are skinny compared to anything out there.

I was referring to the angle of rider relative to the front wheel, on a DH descent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryanpmb Posted December 19, 2012 Share Rudy Projects on my face and I don't mind a bit off mud on my kit. Won't see these things on my bikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwan Kemp Posted December 25, 2012 Share Best combo ever:1. Crud Catcher on the downtubeKeeps the mud debry that comes off your front wheel from spraying your crotch / chest. Nothing out there beats a crud catcher.2. Rapid Racing Products on your forkKeeps the mud out of your mouth and eyes. Simple piece of kit that makes a MASSIVE difference.

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted December 25, 2012 Share I made one out of an old wetsuit. Works perfectly. Its more for those really really muddy + wet rides when your tire flings dirt forward and you ride into it (dirt in the mouth, eyes and face) - this stops it in its tracks, so that the only water / mud that gets thrown forward is thrown on a flat trajectory and straight back into the trail ahead. The crud catchers are also indespensible. Catches anything thrown up towards your body. I don't mind a wet ride, but I despise dirt ridden teeth and a wet crotch.

amasendeinja Posted December 25, 2012 Share Buy it! At R60 it's 2/3 of the price of the Mucky Nutz ones I bought in the UK and they work like a charm. Note, by "work" I mean they keep the mud out of your eyes/glasses so you can actually see on fast snotty descents. They do not keep your bike or the rest of you clean and generally do not claim to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
