The Best MTB Mudguard just got better: MK2 Rear Mudhugger

[@streetpigeonmtb]

CODE CHANGED MARCH 2024 - Hi all. If you are interested in any Mudhugger gear the code Streetpigeon10 will get you a 10% discount on one order. I do not make money from this discount - it is not an affiliate link. I am supported by Mudhugger who help make it possible for me to produce all my vids. And in case you think i'm biased - I used Mudhugger products way before I had any links with them 👍

[@mid.bike.crisis]

I was/am still unsure about the looks but after watching your vid I’ve just ordered one as it clearly works. Your code still worked too, cheers.

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Awesome mate. Yup, I totally get the looks thing. If you can live with them then you'll undoubtedly get to love the functionality 👌

[@mid.bike.crisis]

@@streetpigeonmtb to be honest, it’s only going to get used for the next 2/3 months. Went to Dalby Forest today and got sooooooo muddy at the back. Thanks again for the review.

[@streetpigeonmtb]

@mid.bike.crisis no problem at all 👍

[@Emtbtoday]

Nice neogaurd or front mug hugger works just as good without the cows tounge

[@SunnyCurwenator]

Excellent post, would've put this on a retro build but then realised it's disc only. I have subscribed as it looks like a cracking channel now we're getting back into MTB.

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Ah brilliant. Thanks for taking time to comment and also, welcome to the channel. I really hope you continue to enjoy the content 👍

[@steveproud2893]

Been using the old ones for years. Just ordered a new bolt on one for the front👍👍

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Nice. The bolt on front is my absolute favourite. It gets a lot of use, especially given how wet the trails are just now!

[@kevinwood8021]

Jamie, its function is unquestionably good, but you know how vain we well I am 👊

[@streetpigeonmtb]

😁😁😁

[@connorcampbell144]

Great video, I never thought about having mudguards before, I think I will buy one for my fork definitely, and I will wait on a rear one as I'm switching frames soon so don't want a compatibility issue.

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Deffo try them out. I haven't ridden without a front for years now. In fact, I forgot to take it to Spain this year and it freaked me out seeing the front tyre again 🤣

[@jimbobjamber9276]

As far as adverts for mudguards go, that was pretty good! 🤣👍

[@streetpigeonmtb]

😁👍

[@Emtbtoday]

Mudhugger front large works amazing and looks great on the rear you just need a mtb bendy gaurd at the front to extend it to barings on on emtb forms for pics but its best bet or a neogaurd i know you have to give good reviews being a sponsor but yeh front large on the rear cant go wrong

[@FatBlokeDoingStuff]

I've got the mk1 on both bikes. Might have to invest in the new ones.

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Great kit for sure 👍

[@cupidstunt1975]

Not convinced by the baby romper suit...🤣🤣

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Ha ha. Fair play mate. It's quite out there but I fair love it. Rumour has it matching suits make you 10% faster🤣

[@sandy_knight]

It wasn't mentioned in the video but as well as being easier to remove before you get to the pub I expect the velcro and rubber inserts will make it kinder to your paint, will save you adding helicopter tape under the zip ties.

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Yeah. I didn't mention the helitape either as I have a wrap on the frame already. The guys at Mudhugger still send the helitape with the Mk2 kit 👍I'd agree that it will deffo be less damaging with those rubber inserts.

[@ThemudhuggerCoUk]

Hello Sandy, you'll still need to use the helitape, as tiny amounts of grit etc will get under the rubber inserts over time and eat through the frame paint if not protected by the helitape. Not sure the life of the helitape will be extended by the rubber inserts yet either, only time will tell once we hit 9-12 months continuous use.

[@wilfriedmestdagh1676]

Il a l'air bien aussi ce Mudhugger. Personnellement je préfère le SKS Mudrocker, il est plus qualitatif, plus fonctionnel aussi.

[@skedwin3020]

Definitely a must when winter riding well happy with mine no more soggy butt 😁🤣

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Hashtag - drycrack! 🤣

[@ThemudhuggerCoUk]

Another cracking vid Jamie :) Seems we're still dividing opinions, based on the comments below ;)

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Ha ha. Yup! Dividing opinion and keeping arses dry 😜

[@Photoshopuzr]

been looking for something like this to go on a specialize levo carbon they said it cant be done but yes it is done. whats the front fender are you using same company does it come with front and rare? I only want to use this when I ride in the rain and when its wet on the streets. Thanks allot for showing how this works.

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Hey mate. Yeah, the same company. They do a front one as well. I made a brief video in it also kzbin.info/www/bejne/hKesqayOfJKMatEsi=GvqrbAXLMyeARg9a

[@mattgolding7557]

Good comparison…out of interest what kit are you riding in ?

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Hi mate. The kit i'm wearing is the Endura MT500 gear. It's become my go to... Just love it!

[@slowslowOK]

What is your rain gear?

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Endura MT500 waterproof trousers and jacket. Let me know if you need more info 👍

[@DownhillDesireMTB]

what's the difference between the medium and large version Jamie? the website isn't very clear

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Hey mate. It's to do with the angle of your seat stays. The large is for seat stays from 22 degrees to 28 degrees. The medium is for 27 degrees up to 34 degrees. A frame geometry chart should help you 👍

[@ArnoldQMudskipper]

Not sure how it could be clearer: The MEDIUM version is designed for bikes with a seat stay angle from 34 degrees down to 27 degrees. Can be fitted to 'most' mountain bikes with disc brakes, even with external cables and hoses. Length - 690mm. Width - 105mm. BB Extension - 230mm long x 80mm wide Weight - 280g excluding fittings. The LARGE version is designed for bikes with a seat stay angle of below 28 degrees down to 22 degrees. Can be fitted to 'most' mountain bikes with disc brakes, even with external cables and hoses. Length - 775mm. Width - 105mm. BB Extension - 230mm long x 80mm wide Weight - 300g excluding fittings

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Thanks for adding the additional information 👍

[@Mtnboarder]

Do you get much downforce from that rear wing?!?!

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Traction felt good 👌😁

[@Vulcan897]

Hi. What size is your bike and wheels. What is mudguard size ? Thank you

[@streetpigeonmtb]

My bike is size L and the wheels are 29 front and rear. The guard comes in one size I think.

[@eggman1978]

Looks like a really great guard there’s nothing worse than wet backside.

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Definitely the guard to go for if you are fed up of getting a wet n muddy backside 👌

[@void.less.]

​ After 10 months how has it held up? Im do alot of very quick tech but its very muddy and I am looking at a mudguard. I am looking at several and was wondering if this stayed together and if its fits 2.25" tires.

[@streetpigeonmtb]

I ride rough enduro trails and mountains. My tyres are 2.4. It is in perfect condition. You won't have any issues with it deteriorating 👍

[@void.less.]

Good to hear. I love tech and I'm tired of coming home with my hoodie and hair covered in mud. Also does the front mudguard stop most of the mud from the bottom of the bike frame? @@streetpigeonmtb

[@void.less.]

Does the longest front mudhugger fit the RockShox Pike

[@streetpigeonmtb]

@void.less. hi there. The front mudguard stops the spray hitting your face and protects the fork stanchions. It protects some of the downtube but not the middle to lower parts 👍

[@streetpigeonmtb]

@void.less. there is a version that fits a Pike 👍

[@letsgoletsgoletsgoletsgoletsgo]

now i know why the best fenders are made in the UK ... jeez your trail conditions are very similar to Singapore's conditions

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Hello from Scotland! Thanks for the comment. Is there much if a riding scene in Singapore?

[@letsgoletsgoletsgoletsgoletsgo]

@@streetpigeonmtb yes there is, quite a lively one , but our trails are small and mellow

[@SteveKimbo]

What they've done there is more or less copied the SKS Mudrocker. I switched to that from the Mk1 Mudhugger because it has the rubber mounts, velcro straps and the front flap AND a clip-on rear extension too. Trouble is it still looks terrible, but there's no denying they work, as I found out earlier riding without it and I have a brown stripe right up my jacket and the back of my helmet 🤣🤦‍♂️

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Yeah, you can't question the performance. After months of rain a dry arse is quite the luxury! 😁

[@SteveKimbo]

@@streetpigeonmtb at 41 years old a dry arse is non-negotiable as far as I'm concerned. Mudguards and onesie 'til spring!

[@streetpigeonmtb]

I know what you mean. Winter is good but dry spring trails are better!

[@JayRidesTrails]

Well. It does looks incredibly ugly, but what counts is that it helps eh? (ofc "ugly" is subjective, perhaps a better way to put it is: it looks... unusual 😁) Really well edited video once again! ✌

[@streetpigeonmtb]

🤣 Mate, the looks are about as divisive as it gets 😁 It's dry-bum versus insta-friendly.

[@JayRidesTrails]

@@streetpigeonmtb haha, very well put! 😄

[@alunjones2550]

How many times can you say the word "mudhugger" in one video. Subliminal mind games.....You will buy a mudhugger...😍

[@streetpigeonmtb]

I didn't realise I'd said Mudhugger so Mudhugging much #mudhugger 😜😁

[@Emtbtoday]

That might of looked not bad if they stopped like in-line with the end of the saddle but the coo's tounge thing damb hell no look at that wheel slap and shit flicker

[@streetpigeonmtb]

At the end of the day, if you want total mud protection, it just has to look like this.

[@rhettetherington1351]

Just ride a hardtail. No worries about bearings.🤣🤣🤣

[@streetpigeonmtb]

That's true... Still a soggy crack though 🙈

[@munstermutch]

Just because you can't afford a full suspension mtb doesn't mean that folk shouldn't have a mudguard to protect their bearings. 🤣🤣🤣

[@Jackbaker99]

The waffle house has found its new host

[@streetpigeonmtb]

I'm going to have to look up Waffle House now...

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Na. You've totally lost me. Just spent 5 mins googling Waffle House images and I'm still confused 🤣

[@Jackbaker99]

Search Jonny RaZeR Shorts Waffle House

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Will do 👌

[@streetpigeonmtb]

🤣

[@R0BBS]

I still couldn't do it, they look so bad

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Hey mate. If you can't do the looks it's not for you. It's an option for folks though and sometimes it's all about the dry crack 👌

[@R0BBS]

@@streetpigeonmtb yes absolutely. Ice been tempted many a time to get one but I can't justify it. It would be like putting a basket on the front to carry my accessories 😁

[@SergeyBobrov-mm8kr]

it doesn't work from the word at all. I put it on and took it off after an hour of riding.

[@streetpigeonmtb]

If it didn't work at all you must've fitted it wrong. For sure you can criticise the looks, but they work flawlessly. What was the problem you had?

[@briancunningham1975]

I’ve ran front mudhugger for yrs now , can’t fault them but rear mudguards are horrific, if staying clean is a riders priority, their needing to find another hobby

[@streetpigeonmtb]

I think that's overly harsh. You don't need to run a rear mudguard and you don't need to like them either. However, if someone wants to use a mudguard through winter to save on washing and prolong their bearings then they should absolutely be able to do their hobby in that way. Also, you don't like mud in your eyes? Does that mean you should get a new hobby? I respect your choices mate, I run the same setup as you. I just don't think there is any need to be dismissive of others. At the end of the day, we are all mountain biking.

[@SilingVandalski]

SKS is better.

[@streetpigeonmtb]

What do you prefer about it?
