MTB mudguard brackets

Hello MTB friends!

Every owner of a mountain bike probably knows the problem: The mounting of mudguards is really difficult, because the manufacturers of the bike have not provided a mounting for it.

Fortunately, we are Maker so take measurements, fire up Fusion360 and do it yourself!

I tried to make the bracket as universal as possible. It attaches to the bike using cable ties only, as you can see in the pictures. At the rear bracket is an elongated hole so that the distance between the fender and the rear wheel is adjustable.

To secure the bracket against slipping and to protect the frame I have made myself from an old bicycle tube rubber pads, which I glued to the areas facing the frame. The cable ties used are 4.6 x 200.

The bracket is now installed for about 6 months on my bike and keeps what it promises. It has become very stable. To improve the optics still something I will soon exchange the white cable ties against black. Probably these are also more durable in t
