I'm in the UK and bought a rear MH a few month ago. I ride a 26 Lapierre Zesty
and the MH keeps the bike (seat-tube and seatpost) and the underside of the
saddle completely clean. However, I get the skunk stripe starting on my
shorts. I always use a rucksack and that gets covered, last ride to the extent
that it had to go in the washing machine. I've never ridden in muddy
conditions without the rucksack, so don't know how far up my back the mud
would go without it.
I agree with the various points about how sturdy it is, but must say that I'm
disappointed about the lack of coverage, particularly given that I'm on a 26.
Maybe the Zesty is an unusual design? - although it doesn't look it to me
compared with pictures of the MH mounted on other bikes.
Cunningstunts, I had already been thinking about extending mine on a DIY
basis. How did you do yours?
Bruce, if you're reading this, I'd be interested to hear your thoughts too.
Cheers
