After getting far too much mud in my eyes the other day I'm looking at buying a mudguard/flap for my Fox36 fork.
It's a 2020 fork and I think it has two bolt holes on the back of the fork bridge.
Any recommendations.
RRP Bolt on.
RRP for full length.
Syncros for short.
Yep. RRP bolt on. Shorter version. Long one can get a bit flappy in the rough stuff.
Edit after seeing above post from SSS. The shorter RRP I'm suggesting is still longer than the syncros or other mud flap types.
I have the rrp proguard bolt on shorter mudguard, and the cable tie longer version on my two bikes.
Both work well, the bolt on is much neater
RRP bolt on would be my vote. Far cheaper than the Mojo equivalent too
RRP bolt on long.
Doesn't flap at all (you do have to do the bolts up surprisingly tight)
Supposedly the syncros one is useless
RRP bolt on on mine.
Cheers all.
Ordered the RRP bolt on mini
RRP bolt on.
The big one, it's nearly winter after all.

Just be aware, there may be fit issues if the fork offset is particularly short
Crud XL.
Doesn't use the bolt holes, but it's brilliant. I can ride mud without fear of any of it going into my eyes and sticking to my contact lenses. Only wore Oakley's again in the late spring until a few weeks ago as it doesn't stop Kamikaze flies.
Just changed my standard RRP for the max version. Had picked up the standard version by mistake the first time.
Much better coverage on 29r wheels. Did a few test runs flat out through some deep puddles and nothing got through. Doesn’t seem to ‘flappy’
The "long one" in cable tie form is the Max Protection, and the "long one" in bolt-on form is the Standard.
Mini = 388mm, bolt-on only
Standard = ~500mm in both
Max Protection = 582mm, cable tie only
Much as I like Syncros product and have a syncros guard on most of our family forks, i actually managed to get a rock stuck between the fender and stanction. Happened the same crash I broke a wrist so killing my Kashima was the icing on the cake.
The lack of seal coverage is a bit of an oversight and the 2021 fox 36/38 is a much better solution..
Whilst it's great to not have cable ties etc the Syncros is still mostly effective for damp conditions.
That RRP guard looks ace as a winter guard and much better than the mudhugger I have on my hardtail
