1. How to fit the front guard
This graphic demonstrates the various mounting points for attaching a front mudguard to any of our current frameset models.
2. Front guard bracket removal
Most front mudguards will include an L-shaped bracket, which is designed to allow it to be fitted to a rim brake calliper. However, this is surplus to requirements for the purposes of a disc brake bike and must be removed to facilitate it being bolted to the fork crown.
Please note, bracket removal is not required for rim brake-equipped bikes.
3. How to fit the rear guard
The rear mudguard attaches in precisely the same way as the front. However, unlike the front, there isn't an L-shaped bracket to remove.
4. Mudguard Bridge
Whichever model you own will directly affect how the rear mudguard attaches to the frame. The graphic below illustrates how some frames feature a bridge between the seat stays and some won't. The frame material and how much tyre clearance it offers are the determining factors in whether there is a built-in bridge or not. Alloy and titanium frames will typically include one, but carbon won't.
Some frames will require a removable mudguard bridge to accept mudguards. They are model specific, so please ensure that you order the correct one to match your frame. If you need assistance in determining which is correct, please do not hesitate to contact us for assistance.
Like their 'endurance' predecessors, the Allroad SL R and SL R e lack a rear bridge and require a specific mudguard adaptor kit.
5. Rear Dropouts
The majority of our alloy and titanium frames require the mudguard stays to be bolted to the outside of the frame adjacent to the dropout area. The Allroad SL R / SL R e , Endurance SL R and SL Series carbon frames, on the other hand, require the stays to be bolted to the rear of the seat stays. We've found that some adapters like these work best for such frames.
We hope this guide helps you ascertain how to fit mudguards to your Ribble bike. Please don't hesitate to get in touch should you require further guidance or assistance.
