The Rawflap does look 'cool', but I believe a rather wider front flap helps to stop water and road muck being thrown up on to your feet and on the bottom bracket and transmission. Scrounge an offcut of builders' damp proof course next time you pass a construction site. I was given a short length a few years ago and have used it on several generations of 'guards. Mudflaps need to be pretty long to give best protection. DPC is flexible enough not to cause trouble on kerbs (or potholes!).TrevA wrote: ↑20 Nov 2022, 10:28am After years of making my own mudguard flaps, I bought a Rawflap (https://rawmudflap.uk) last year. Quite easy to fit, though you do have to take a drill to your guard. I used to use old cut down 2 litre milk bottles riveted to the guard , which did the job but weren’t very durable, so had to be redone every few months. The Rawflap is stiffer and more durable.
Removing the riveted-on brackets and fastening the 'guards to the fork crown/brake bolts using a zip-tie will save a mm or two of clearance. Drill a couple of holes in the 'guards about half an inch apart and pass the zip-tie through and over the brake bolt/mudguard bridge. After years of doing this I've never had the ties pull through a 'guard, but using a chain side-plate as reinforcement on the inner side of the 'guard would give added peace of mind.
