New Mudhugger Front Race Guard.

 

Not too sure about the looks, this is a love it or hate it thing. I haven't had to deal with serious mud so far, let's see.

Only issue I find is that due to the low profile, now and then a leaf or twig will jam in between the tire and the guard, making annoying engine sounds.

Damn, Been toying with that idea for the last year and a bit, lack of rain has prevented me from purchasing.

Anyone have the giro switchblade used in conjunction with Oakley airbrake goggles?

 

First time using the two together recently, and I find the lid pressing down on the top of the goggles, which in turn causes the goggles to press onto the bridge of the nose. It's vrek annoying when riding. Dialed the helmet cradle adjustment super tight so the lid sits as high on the head as possible, still no relief from the nose bridge compaction.

 No mention of incompatibility on Oakley or Giro websites/forums as far I could determine (albeit via a quick squizz). But anyone else can confirm, that would suffice.

Dude, if they're not working, they're not working. You've figured that out for yourself.  :thumbup:

Had a similar problem with my recon and 100% goggles. But my liner was paper thin from extended use. A strip of padding at the brow solved it. I doubt its an option with the new lid though. Oakleys are usually a bit bigger than other goggles. Or they have more of a concave shape above the brow.

Saw that, looks good. Holy grail of sealant? Will be interested to see the reviews and pricing.
