I was just about to start a thread about full f+r mudguards for a full sus bike. That mudrocker set looks exactly what I was after.
What are the main alternatives to them?
That Genesis is pretty
Top Secret information about a couple of new races happening there in 2025. Both will have bigger-than-World-Cup prize money.
Bigger prize money that a WC? Not exactly hard.
RRP up front SKS Mudrocker out back , spoils the clean lines of the Curtis but at least my backside stays dry !
The price of the CDF frame makes a Curtis frame sound reasonable!

It is quite sobering. Mind you, the regular steel F&F is £899.
@oldfart Mind you, we're both from the era when a steel frame cost £500, or £800 if it was some California-welded exotica... 🙂
These work really well on the rear.

@chipps yeah a Curtis was about that price when they first appeared on my radar , Gary does seem to have hit a magic formula of Reynolds 853 , 631 ( I think) and Columbus .
It's not normally my type of bike, but that cdf is a very pretty looking frame. I'm sure I could find a use for it if happened across a shed load of loose change down the back of the sofa.
Indeed that CDF is lovely.
Nevis had some 'mixed weather' according to two of mine who went.
Any idea of the weight of the CDF, internet is saying 2.6kg but I’m not sure if that’s the old 931 they did and sounds alot.
A question, that Thule tow bar rack can carry 4 bikes up to 30kg each, how do you know if your tow bar can cope with that much weight bearing down it vertically? Obviously it can pull much more on horizontally, but is the vertical down force an issue?

Check your manual, it should be listed in there. Max weights between 75-85 (90 if you're lucky) kg are common, so it wouldn't be that hard to go over weight (mind and add in the weight of the rack too)
@jkomo - my Feedback digi scales reckon that the Small frame is indeed 2.59kg or 5.71lbs. It's no lightweight. Mind you, my custom Rä gravel bike frame is probably a similar weight and it's probably my favourite all-round 'trail' bike... I'll let you know what the full build comes to. Just searching for a T47 BB right now...
