After falling for the shiny, shiny newness of the Exotic Carbon forks recently, I am about to make the move to fully rigid, but I noticed a potential spanner in the plan last night: The crown is corrected for 100mm suspension and there is no way to hang a front mud guard from.

Before I start playing with cut up inner tube, cable ties and coat hangers, does anyone have any good suggestions of how to attach mudguards to forks?

P clips around the stanctions. And a bung in the steerer if theres a hole and drill through the mudguard with a spacer above. Attach a full length mudguard.

I'm sure someone will add a photo shortly.

Nice. The bung was something that I had not thought of, thanks.

Topeak DeFender works for me (above the knees, anyway).

Can't see Rocketdog's pics, but another happy Mudhugger user on an Exotic fork. Just drilled a couple of extra holes in the side bits so I could get 2 cable ties round each fork leg. Works lovely, even with a short non/FR one.

 This is on P2 forks.

As is this:

Only two zips at each leg, the top holes got covered with black tape.
