I agree it’s a sick bike, but I like those fenders. They’re actually functional, unlike those little flat plastic ones that go on the fork. Those are ridiculous looking and not functional at all. Mudhuggers, (that’s what he has) make a slightly shorter front fender that I use front and rear and they work great and I think they look good too.
I use them cus they work,the have great coverage, which keeps spray from rear tyre away from my butt, but during the winter they also protect my butt and other bits form studded tyres. I keep them on all year long, In case I git the tyre, it can hurt, but not always very bad, but with studs in the winter it's a must. so when I ran out of zipties and those snap off, it's not a big deal in summer, I can take some pain, but with studs I won't take a chance. but in my backpack I have zipties in case I need it for the mudguards, or to secure snapped off parts or quick fixes.
I mean are you really that vein not to get dirty I understand a medium to small size front guard but jeeeeeze! Lol
the mudguard is also keeping spray from tyre away from the dropper post. it won't only be mud but rocks too. it's nice to be able to visit someone and sit indoors without mud spot on the shorts. front guard protect against rocks flying up too, but with Shorty tyres they shoot up front so if a rider is in front he will get rock so if he turns he could damage his or hers eye if hit. so tyre throwing rocks hard at dropper post won't be good. I went for function over looks. I am not afraid to get dirty. but don't want to damage parts and get dirty and wet unnecessarily, and using rear mudguard, eliminates the need for those shorts with waterproof butt section, so I get good air flow, don't overheat, don't get soaked, and can ride comfortably.
Ouchy - saddle angle and a light on bars this guy clearly blind if he needs that to ride in daylight
Yo Stevie boy someone pinched your glasses
Well I Wonder ... (no pun like)
Saddle angle will depend on the saddle, some saddles you tilt it more up, some more flat. some more forward or backward. also shape, width too, but this saddle fits me nicely. this angle on this bike works for me. but if it's a hardtail, I tilt it up slightly, cus of sag on fork, but with rear suspension it's even in the travel. but of course it has benefits for steep climbs, butt I won't go too extreme with it, for this saddle I think it's at a good angle now.
