How to Make Bicycle Fenders / Mudguards

In this video we build bicycle fenders or mudguards, and test them out. These are not your standard mudguard design, so we test them to see if they really work.
These DIY bicycle mudguards are an economical way to fit out your bike with mudguards.

Could you discuss the bike? It looks like a freewheel single speed. Interesting build

The F.W. Evans is a 1989 road bike made out of good old Reynolds 531 steel tubing. Stripped off the gears and put a single cog on front and back which makes for a nice light 'fixie', great for getting around town.

Very clever.you could rivet the guards to the stays instead of using nuts and bolts.

[@MakerMike54]

Yeah that would work. Two rivets on each stay is probably a good idea.

Now make a full size please. Thank you so much for your efforts. How much did this setup weigh, with the stays?

[@MakerMike54]

Front & rear mudguards, stays and fasteners weight 450 grams

[@amitkumar-wj8gn]

@@MakerMike54 that is pretty lightweight indeed :)

Personally I think the mudguards could be wider.
