Hi,

I purchased a second hand front crud catcher, unfortunately I haven't got a clue how or where to fit it. It came with 2 "rubber bands".

If it matters, I have a dual suspension bike.

Has anyone got a picture showing where and how it's attached?

Ah, so there is such a thing as a crud catcher - I thought simon was pulling our non hairy legs.

Welcome Simon.

ah ha! That makes sense, thank you. I thought it stuck out over the front tyre but couldn't see how it would possibly fit lol

I heard crud catchers were a good brand so got one for the front, I have a Raleigh Flinger on the back.

Use electrical cable ties instead of the rubber bands and check that you can still turn the front wheel well.
