I am planning on buying a Bish Bash Bosh. How do you fit racks and mudguards on backward facing mounts? On my current bike the mounts are on the side.
Thanks
It has no mounts, and the thru axle stops the Blackburn option, not sure you can.
Classic cost saving/ill thought through crap from badge engineers.
The website says the frame has both sets of mounts and I've seen pictures with guards on but can't see the fittings
Phone them

Hmmm. Well that's going to limit your options! You might be able to bend the stays on some mudguards but I can't see how a rack is going to work...
L bracket
Why not just include proper mounts? Utter muppets - if there is any bike that needs decent guard/rack mounts its this one.
Another classic PlanetX/On-One load of cobblers.....
Agreed
Once again it looks like PX have built my next must have bike - but then they havent !!!
Lack of proper mudguard mounts - but why?????????
It's not fashionable apparently.
Practicality is for the poor:
It shows you can't afford a dry gravel bike AND a wet gravel bike too.
Who knew?
This place and it's absolute, instant, negativity towards On One is laughable at times. If this was a Cotic frame, exactly the same, every way (except a tad more expensive) people would be falling over themselves to applaud it.
I do not work with, nor have any affiliation to, On One/Planet X for the record. I have however had nothing but excellent service over the years and any issues dealt with in a timely and correct manner.
Buy waterproof clothing, job done!?!

I love it. It's kind of pantomime verbal violence courtesy of the Scottish Troll Factory Collective. You just know that if the thing had prominent mounts or a built-on rack it'd be derided just the same. It's a sign that all is well with the Singletrack World. 😉
you were doing so well until this:

Yeah, always guilty of over egging the pudding. 😳
Err.
I've bought lots from OO/PX - daughter has a Pro SL and an Inbred.
We've had good and bad service.
Personally, I don't think I'd buy a bike from them now, but I get lots of bits and bobs from them.
Abandoning practicality for the sake of fashion is daft though and needs picking up on.

Good for you, but clearly there are a lot of folk who's had there fingers burned over the years. Based on my own experience they're not the sort of company who's products or service I'd rely on. Cheap for a reason.
Maybe, maybe On-One shouldn't have ****ed so many people over and produced such shoddy service and bikes over the years. Once upon a time they were loved on internet forums, but their stock has fallen rather rapidly and all of their own fruition.
As to the OPs question, either an L bracket or possibly a SKS Direct fork mount?

I resemble that comment.Once again it looks like PX have built my next must have bike - but then they havent !!!
But then again I hadn't heard of the BBB til this thread highlighted why it wasn't the bike for me 🙂

It's a [b]carbon[/b] gravel bike, the Specialized Diverge carbon doesn't have any mounts for racks nor guards, yet is much lauded on this forum, is it because the BBB is priced around the same as the mid level Alu Diverge? Surely that makes it better, not worse!?!
the Specialized Diverge carbon doesn't have any mounts for racks nor guards
it does actually....
admittedly using spesh plug and play for the guards but they are there (and very neat too!), and it has mid-fork mounts for front rack and can take a rear rack using the dropout mounts
*Well the 2015 model, not seen a 2016, is it different?
OK, further research would suggest I'm wrong about the diverge 😳

I'll just leave this here...

Thanks all. I would only buy a BBB because it's advertised as having rack and mudguard mounts (I have a Pickenflick and love it by the way).
I've decided to spec a bike exactly how I want it and am going down the Enigma Ecroix route now
Is the BBB not designed to use the vanishing fender mounts similar to the Trek Domane?
Gary Fisher video
😆
bloody planet x, using existing tech to produce a clean looking frame that's fully mud guard compliant!!!!!
far easier to slag them off though eh?
Well good on them if so.
🙂
That video is hilarious though.
I've been reduced to tears, stabbed myself, broke things and drank a lot trying to fit guards.
Wonder how many takes they had to do?
Quick update. I spoke to Planet-X and they do have an issue with rack mounting on the current version of the BBB frame. A new model is currently being built and March is the early estimate of the arrival date
