Rear mudguard

[Admin Jaap]

Hi Al,

 

some German V11 riders have picked up your idea in the rear mudguard replacement/enhancement. To make things easy for them (and maybe me), could you provide a drawing with measurements?

Sure, I'll do so ASAP.... might be the weekend though as I have to go to a suspension class tonight, and have a pretty full family-fun-filled weekend planned

 

Do I get a royalty if some manufacturer picks it up?

 

 

Hrmmm, maybe I should patent it <_>

Al,

I know that a time ago in a discussion about mudgards, I made a drawing from this, and how to make it, and I didn't "invent " it but, I have seen it before from a race bike. That can be the raceco daytona or the TLM bott racer.

Here is the drawing, but the measurements will have to be approximate. So please note that it is a general guide.

 

However, if making it out of plastic, I suspect some trimming will be necessarly depending on the various tolerances on our bikes anyway

 

 

I wanted to be more precise, provide the specifications in metric, and thought I had an old drawing/sample to go from, but had to try to measure the part while mounted on the bike instead so it's not as precise as I would have liked.... so again, please use this as a general guide, and fit to your bike as necessary.

 

If you have issues viewing the detail, I have a larger .jpg and a Visio version I can provide.

Thanks! I'll post it in the german forum. But Al , inches?

[al_roethlisberger]

haha, yeah I know. Seriously though, I wanted to put it in mm, but I couldn't be precise enough in my measurements since I had to measure it on the bike

 

I was worried that if I did try to convert it to mm/cm, the approximate dimensions might get thrown off by too large a margin

 

Hope it helps
