Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

I've been using a Musguard for a couple years - far superior to ass-saver & most other "removable" fenders



Heard they recently came up with one for the front too...

The Musguard is designed to roll up on the top tube (or elsewhere I guess). That seems convenient enough.

A rolled up Musguard is way easier to carry than an ass saver - will fit in a large pocket...

Nice!

Except that the ass saver takes up basically zero space in the bag, and takes like three seconds to put on or remove.

you can fold the ass saver and tuck the whole thing under the seat which is nice

@IAmSam is the musguard worth $30?

Looks so custom.

Today I was asked by the clothing retailer, American Eagle Outfitters, if they could loan my Fuji for the next four days for a photo shoot. They offered me $100 for the four days. Laughable. Suck it, AEO!

find the logo on the hub. make it sure faces your direction when you're mounted on the bike. starting 3 holes over from the center of the logo, drop a spoke in that hole. now, find the valve hole on the rim. make sure the rim logo is readable from the drive side of the bicycle. place the spoke into the hole to the immediate left of the valve hole. attach a nipple to the spoke leaving a few threads on the spoke exposed. working toward the left, skip a hole on the hub and drop a spoke into that hole on the flange. now, skipping 3 holes in the rim (to the left of the first spoke you placed in) feed that spoke into the hole and attach a nipple. continue that process until that side of the flange is complete. once you complete that side, pick any spoke you've already laced...yadda yadda yadda if you need anymore help pm me. beers are great right now.

I don't think it would work very well on seatpost - has a crease down the center for stiffness but is pretty long so still kind of flexible. Running it thru seatstay/bridge triangle keeps it "folded" along the crease to make it rigid. As much as I like my Musguard, this may be its one drawback...
