The problem that I am having is that shit just keeps flying into my face. I talked to the bike store guys and they told me to get the little front mud flap thing that attaches under the frame. It costed me 10 bucks and it works! But still I have a problem with the rear wheel flinging shit into my frame and back and backpack.
The guys at the bike store are telling me that the only thing I can do is mount one of those flaps that attaches directly to the seatpost, but all the ones I've seen seem to be mounted really really high up. I guess it would protect the rider from the rear wheel but not my poor frame. They tell me you can't really mount a close fender on a MTB because the wheel is so dummy thick or something; but like you see in the picture I do seem to have some sort of hole back there. I think that this hole is for mounting a rear fender, if not then what is it for?
I also want to mount a rear rack eventually so the high seat flap thing doesn't seem like it would be compatible with that.
Can anyone plz offer advice? I'm sick of picking up globs of mud and debris from my frame :(
