How to fit mudguards to your Ribble bike

Mudguards are a great addition for year-round riding, keeping spray off you and your bike. Here’s how to fit them correctly to your Ribble.

1. Fitting the front guard

• Use the mounting points on your fork (see graphic for reference).

• Most mudguards come with an L-shaped bracket designed for rim brake callipers.

• On disc brake bikes this bracket isn’t needed — remove it so you can bolt the guard directly to the fork crown.

• For rim brake bikes, keep the bracket in place.

2. Fitting the rear guard

• The rear guard fits in the same way as the front.

• There’s no L-shaped bracket to remove here.

3. Mudguard bridge

• Some frames feature a fixed bridge between the seat stays (common on alloy and titanium).

• Most carbon frames don’t include a bridge, so you’ll need a removable mudguard bridge or adaptor kit (model specific).

• For example, the Allroad SL R and SL R e require a dedicated mudguard adaptor kit.

4. Rear dropouts

• On most alloy and titanium frames, the mudguard stays bolt to the outside of the frame near the dropouts.

• On carbon frames such as the Allroad SL R / SL R e, Endurance SL Series, the stays bolt to the rear of the seat stays.

• In these cases, adapters are often the best option.
