Grogboy, get a life. Seriously, go and learn something useful. Like how
to play a penny whistle- it'll help bring in the pennies when you're a
wino in the gutter.

That's right Grogboy. There are plenty of forums out there that are used
to childish communications like yours. If you want to talk about
unicycling, fine. Some of your posts seem normal, just not on the topics
they were posted in. Do a little reading first. If you want to yell rude
names, it's much more rewarding to do it in person.

Back on the topic, I have built a fender onto an old Schwinn 24", but I
don't have any leads on a 700c fender. As the wheel gets bigger, and
skinnier, it probably gets harder to rig up a fender that will stay in
place at the ends. You'll probably need to do some customizing.

I have seen some on 'wiggle.co.uk' (http://www.wiggle.co.uk) for 700c
tho I'm not sure what will fit/be suitable Is it best to go with a front
or rear guard? What type of fitting should I look for?

Thanks again!

The technology has changed a lot since I made my fender in 1981. I think
your best bet, other than waiting for more feedback here, is to go to
the LBS and see what they've got, and hold it up to your unicycle to get
some idea of the coverage you'll get. I guess you only need to cover the
tire behind the fork, though your legs will probably still get stuff on
them around your knees from the front part of the wheel.

Your mudguard needs to stay in place, and not get bumped by your legs or
heels. Also it needs to be able to handle impact. Make sure it can't hit
the ground if you drop the unicycle in front of you. Or get a flexible
one that just bounces back! I don't know what they're like...

I'm still waiting for the uni to arrive, but when it does, I'll take
your advice and head to the LBS!

Thanks a lot! 🙂

I was just stating my oppinion matey boys. I think that mudguards are a
bit silly. There will be more people that think like-minded, but they
don't have the bottle to speak up, as people like you will attack them
verbally or otherwise, so don't hurl abuse at me for being different one
wheeled stallion, for i am a champion of the unsung.
BOO YAH

Mudguards aren't silly when you have to go places that require you not
to have a line of mud up your back. Think about it. It doesn't take
bottle to say what you said, it takes a certain lack of maturity and
intelligence. But I'll repeat, get a life. At the top left corner of
your screen you should see something that says "Unicyclist Community"
basically that means people try to get on here and generally do. Either
get involved or get off.

Anybody out there have any recommendations for mudguards that will fit a
29er that I can get in the UK?

A mountain bike mudguard of the type designed to clip onto the seatpost
will probably do the job. It works for me on my Coker.

This picture would probably have worked better without the black
background, but I'm afraid I couldn't be bothered to move things:

Cool, I shall have to try that and thanks for the pic! Did you have to
modify it in anyway or just clamp it on?

At first I thought Grogboy was a spambot.
Then I saw his odd unicycle poem (which a bot wouldn't do).

Grogboy, this forum doesn't really have profanity, name calling or
"flames."
Please try to respect the community by writing words you wouldn't mind
everyone you know (including your parents) reading.

If you feel that your writing style is "cool," I would recommend that it
would be more welcome in 'this forum' (http://tinyurl.com/28z6j).

Thank you.

No modifications at all, I just clamped it on. Most bike shops will
have something similar - in fact I think I bought mine from the
particularly [censored] bike shop 10 minutes walk from my house, which hardly
ever has anything I want.
