Well I posted the other day about how my bike needed to be adapted for winter, and i’ve done it.
On saturday I went to the bike shop in Farnham and got a set of mudguards.
I got home but, being November it wasn’t raining (until i got to the shed and it hasn’t stopped raining since: it’s now sunday afternoon). The rear one clipped onto the frame nicely; after a bit of tweaking it didn’t rub the back tyre.
The front one on the other hand needed a couple of hours away from the increasingly frustrating task. The angle it was when you put the bit that sticks to the fork was, at one end, 10cm in from the tyre- you couldn’t even fit the wheel.
I managed to get it to fit ok as Iput some padding on one end of the frame grips, wrapped on to the frame with some stretchy rubber band thingy (a very techincal term I know).
This morning I was hoping to test them but it is yet to stop raining, mabee later?
