Thug Posted November 1, 2007 Share Have had a rather animated discussion over the past couple of days with a couple of Hubbers as to which is the "coolest" front mudguard. Here are the contenders: Topeak FX THE Pro XC In terms of price.... Topeak - R 140THE - R 260 So what say the Hubbers ? edit: And no, I'm not including Debbies coke bottle rear mudguard The Thug2007-11-01 05:26:35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Daemon_ Posted November 1, 2007 Share The THE one is soooo much better looking! And there is a reason most mtber's the the UK use THE instead of the Topeak thing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisH Posted November 1, 2007 Share The Topeak mounting bracket lasted one ride and broke when I removed it. Very poor quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dibles Posted November 1, 2007 Share Have had a rather animated discussion over the past couple of days with a couple of Hubbers as to which is the "coolest" front mudguard.Here are the contenders:In terms of price....Topeak - R 140THE - R 260So what say the Hubbers ? This Hubber says that The Thug is stirring. The discussion wasn't about coolness. My opinion is that no mudguards are cool. Topeak cost me R95 and THE was quoted as costing R280. Topeak is the best value-for-money seeing as the mudguard will only be allowed on my mtb when it is absolutely necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wannabe Posted November 1, 2007 Share Only sissies use mudguards!!!. Agree, the Topeak one breaks to easy. Almost went down on a rocky downhill when it broke and went into the wheel. Wannabe2007-11-01 05:32:27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreZA Posted November 1, 2007 Share Why only those? Because of the name? What about these BBB ones? http://www.bbbparts.com/products/bike_parts/fenders/images/highprotector.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tumbleweed Posted November 1, 2007 Share mandibles, i think they look good on some bikes. but generally i agree, theu can look quite uncool. i have attached one like this - not the exact one, myine cost R35 - to my singlespeed. they're more subtle and hidden away under the down tube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
