Mudsling copy

CPJS said:
I bought a £20.00 one from China, it has now done 40,000 mls across two bikes and does it's job very nicely. It is made of the same type of non shattering plastic as the Mudsling.
I couldn't make myself pay that price for a Mudsling, glad I didn't.

May be worth checking out the following post regarding the damage that a poor fitting "mud sling" can do. I found that clearances seemed ok with a mate sat on the bike while I checked. Riding however is a different matter as the suspension movement cannot be replicated with the bike stood still. I would suggest the use of some chalk on the edges of the plastic guard to see if it rubs off after a short ride.

I must add I have a non ESA suspension. No damage.

My Chinese 'Mudsling' does rub on the swingarm, I am not bothered with a little bit of silver paint being rubbed off where you can't see it.
 
M&P ones were good, but don't think they do them now? If you find them can you post a link ;)
 
You can't be greedy and own everything......if you price at a level that allows others to compete then take the consequences

indeed they do... many thanks... just not on their web site fore some reson?... these appear to fit okay without hiting the tyre or swing arm... are the ones you got still the same and fit okay?.. cheers
 
M&P, not Chinky... they are made in Vietnam... No.. TBH I dont know where they are made, but people do tend to say they are okay... where as mud-sling hits the tyre, and E-bay Chinky hits the swing arm... don't think ive seen anything negative about the M&P's... unless you know different :driving

I got one of the cheap ebay ones, after a while it deflected slightly so that it was only a couple of mm off the tyre. Warmed it up with a hot air gun and reshaped it and it has been perfect ever since.
 
You know when it rains and you get that damp feeling under your leg.. does this bit stop that? Or is it better to get the infill panels for that?

Have both, the infill panels keep you clean and a 'mudsling' to keep the shock (and surrounding are) clean. Both work very well at their respective jobs.
