Can anybody tell me about some clever mudguard that does not require the seatpost?
Fit it to the bottom of the seat? "Ass Savers" is something I have seen in both Evans and Rutland shops recently.

Mudhuggers are your friends.
mudhugger. not pretty but they do work.
As you have a full susser it's best to get something like a Mudhugger that actually mounts to the seatstays and doesn't buzz on the tyre under compression . Zefal do a similar style for a lot less money .
Blimey beaten to it 3 times while I typed .
Looking at that picture I'd say you've got enough post visible between the collar and clamp to fit a Crud Guard.
That's what I've done with both my Reverbs at it works great.
Just accept that mudguards are for shandys and have no place on mountain bikes
Problem solved.
For a couple of years, on my old Trance, I used a Crud rear guard:
Took off the 'arm' which usually mounts to the seatpost . In its place I mounted an old seatpost clamp, one with a single bolt right through it, fitted this in place of the crud arm and used just the ' front' jaws of the clamp to fit the guard to the saddle. Worked a treat, never came off. Cut a piece of old inner tube, zip tied one end beneath the seAtpost clamp an fixed the other end to the front if the crud guard, this pulled taught with the dropper raised and just folded out of the way, when dropped, caught mud and water and kept 90% of crap off the dropper.
Looked a bit crap, but I didn't care, staying relatively dry on wet days.
Using the same guard with the arm put back on , on a hardtail now. Need to sort something for the new full suss.
Mudhugger ordered, thanks.
