Nice but what about the cranks/rings they will get sand blasted and destroyed quickly, get a fugly to protect it.
Fat Fenders for Fat Bikes.
I've been using Topeak defenders to good effect but was finding that my drinks bottle was getting very sandy 
Sooooo, I zip tied a cheap `crudcatcher` to my down tube, further down than usual and in the wrong direction.
This has worked really well and saves the water with added sand drinking experience
What guards/combos are you using and how have they evolved ?
Thanks,
Dr FG:thumbsup:

What is a FUGLY!?!
I invented it to keep the drivetrain/rider/cranks pivots clean. Can be used on all bikes:thumbsup:Dr Feelygood ! said:At the risk of asking a stupid.......

X2 whats a fugly??
guess its something we dont get here in the UK!!
my chainrings have done 1200 miles mostly on sand,there on the 2nd chain and ive got faith in the phil wood bearings lasting (you have to at £150!!
im running the good old crud catcher on the down tube and im leaving the cheap £23 axiom rear rack with its flat parcel shelf on to act as a rear fender,its light and i always catch my leg on rear crud catchers, now ive got my frame bag my bottles are inside aswell as pump and tools all nice and clean thats the best thing ive bought for ages,seems waterproof too,you can go a ride then stop at the shop on the way home and stuff a bottle of strongbow cider in there easy!:thumbsup:
oh if your riding on the beach/ saltwater a lot change the rubber fixing o rings on the crudcatcher for zip ties as they rot with the salt,watch your pump too as i had mine fail as the o ring inside perished

That`s very inventive in a `Heath Robinson styleeeee :thumbsup:
If I put it on my bike it would end up Pug-Fugly

forgot about these neoprene things that fit suspension forks,CRC stock them, ideal if your running a maverick fork,you can buy direct from the makers and get custom writing on them,all my mates have them now,the xs size would be ideal for short travel,this one is an xs as forks very plush and sag a bit,i have two and they work really well,no more tearing down spooky woods at glentress in the rain squinting through mud filled eyes!!
