I know a few of you use your unis to commute, and as a general means of
transport. Does anyone use a mudguard of any sort for wet weather street riding?

Re: Wet weather
It generally doesn’t get all that wet around my neighborhood, but I
don’t use mudguard. the mud doesn’t seem to shoot up and your back
because the wheel isn’t moving as fast. when im riding threw water I
just ride slower to avoid water getting on my shirt. but that’s me. the
Mud in my area might be a little less muddy than your mud. The seat also
works as a partial mud guard…

Re: Wet weather
This is a perpetual problem for me, especially since I live in Oregon, USA.
(where we have lots of rain and lots of forests, but no rainforests and no water
heaters up in the clouds that drop the rain, either) I haven’t found any
mudguards that would work for my uni yet. I don’t get a chocolate stripe up the
back, I just get speckles on the insides of my lower legs. I would imagine that
a mudguard would have to be shaped kind of like the shape that birds are drawn
in pictures when they’re far off and mounted on each side of the inside of the
fork. To get by I generally point my toes inward much more than usual, which
generally decreases the amount of speckles because it forces my knees in and
brings my legs farther from the back. Going a little slower helps too,
obviously.
