Reaper Mudguards
A bit like marmite, some people hate mudguards. However, I love them. I run a mudguard all year round, rain or shine, and try to keep my fork seals as protected as possible. I also hate the winter months without one as the spray flicks up and inevitably leaves me blinded. I first heard of them when I stumbled across their Twitter page and grabbed a cheap – £3 – mudguard from their sale section. Their designs looked good and the fact that they manufacture their own products in Sheffield made it worth a gamble. What turned up in the post was way better than I was expecting though. The designs are clearly well thought out and the quality of the guard itself is what I’d expect from the RRP Enduro Guards. Sure, they’re simple in design and they’re not as durable as other alternatives from other brands, but they do the job, pack down into nothing (so I can always have spares to hand) and aren’t expensive to replace when I bust them by putting the bike in the car.
