Blur mud problems
Has anybody else had problems with mud clogging up the front mech on a
Blur since winter set in? I fitted a top pull top swing mech and I'm wondering if bottom swing might have been a better solution. I'm also looking at the idea of creating a small guard to protect the front mech and lower pivot. Anyone else had similar problems and managed to solve them? I'd be interested to hear your ideas. -- Uncle Keith |

Just throw a grunge boot on there for really nasty days. Jon Bond |

It's something I've actually considered. -- Uncle Keith |
