Mudguards

BIKE MUDGUARDS

As the old saying goes, there’s nothing certain in this world except death and taxes. At Bike Addict, we like to add wet weather to this adage because it has such a massive impact on cyclists.

If you ride regularly, and perhaps even if you don’t, you will need to fully embrace the fact that there are times when you are going to get soaked. Even the best-laid plans are subject to the weather, and while you may have checked and double-checked the weather forecasts to avoid rain, there’s still a pretty good chance you’ll be caught in an unexpected downpour.

This is where bike mudguards come into play. They make it possible for you to have a ride free of having to endure the persistent muddy spray coming at you and your machine and will keep you much dryer. You won’t have to deal with water coming at you from above and below and, not only will your expensive gear fare a lot better, your future self will thank you heartily as well.

This is because you won’t have to spend what feels like 100 years cleaning your cycle. When all that water kicks up from the row it invariably locks into your drivetrain, leaving a viscous, seemingly intractable sludge and corrosive road salt caked over the brake callipers, cassette, chain, chainrings, and derailleurs.

When it rains, you won’t have to reschedule or grin and bear it when you’re properly outfitted with a good set of mudguards. They will keep you and your kit cleaner and may even see you avoiding permanent stains in some cases! Our CSIXX mudguards are very reasonably priced and are produced right here in South Africa. Make friends with the rain when you’ve got your bike outfitted the way it should be.
