Front mudguard and suspension forks

[Eammno]

Does anyone have any experience with fitting a mudguard to 26" MTB suspension forks?
I see there's a couple of makes that do mudguards without stays, apparently mounting with a single bolt to the fork bridge.
I was wondering how effective they are, and most importantly do they wibble wobble as badly as I imagine they do?
Alternatively are there any guards that clip to the fork legs? (I'm guessing I might be able to cobble something like this).
Thanks!

1st question. Is the bridge drilled for a mudguard. If yes, you can simply use p clips for the stays with ordinary guards.

i use a SKS shockblade for my mountain bike,the fitting goes inside the steerer tube and the mudguard slides onto that,i find it pretty good and it doesn't fall off,that is for mountain biking though,where you expect to get a little muddy,sure there are better for commuting out there if that's what you want one for.

I have Topeak Defenders fitted front and rear to all our mtb's. Front fits into the steerer tube and rear is seat post mounted. Both are quick release. Have used them for years, good price too.

I'm a trendy consumer. Just look at my D6603 using hovercraft full of eels.

Full chromoplastics, been on for years and still in occasional use.

Brackets on sliders are cateye expanding seatpost mounts for back lights.
Top mount is a reuseable zip tie padded with inner tube.

Rear blade is split for suspension.

+1 for the Defenders - best MTB mudgers I have ever bought - I love the fact you can leave the fitting on the fork and just unclip the guard blades from it. I also like the hinged bracket for the seat tube

I bodged a full 26" mudguard on a mountain bike but it involved a lot of cable ties. Despite this it worked well enough for a full winters commuting (so basically about twice a week for about 5 months).

Some great ideas here, good to see it can be done!
I've got some P-clips on order as per Ian's suggestion above, so I'll see how it alll hangs together when they turn up!

A few years ago I remember that I did something like THIS, very robust and still working pretty well !!

Mine will be very similar as the lower part of the fork leg is tapered. The angle of the stays doesn't look right so it's good to see confirmation that it works
