Another autumnal mudguard question
I've got full length alloy mudguards on my gravel bike, and they do a great job of keeping me dry and bike clean.
However, the front portion of the front 'guard, from the fork crown attachment forwards is unsupported and sometimes gets into a mad resonating vibration.
Is there a way to attach 2 sets of stays to 1 set of mudguard eyelets?
Thanks
you could gaffer taping a little weight (coin or something) to the nose of the guard, or a strip of mastic tape along it, might work to change the resonance issue.
otherwise more stays on the same eye just means longer bolts and some washers / spacers etc.
Is this constant oscillation or just for a couple of seconds after a bump? I have the latter issue as it dissipates the energy, and it's worse when my hands aren't on the bars. I guess the energy has to go somewhere.
It's not constant, but it is frequent. I think it comes and goes with a range of pedaling cadences.
