SKS spare parts?

Mycroft H

Need a bit of help here? Do SKS sell the spare parts for their mudguards? I busted a rear P45 chromoplastic one.

Crossing O'Connell bridge from westmorland street while filtering left to head down the quays, my panniers decides to canabilise my mudguards breaking the rear in two. Not the nicest place to grind to a halt. Quite pissed off as they're not that old and they're not too cheap.

Holyboy

They do supply spares but only all the small parts and not the individual fenders (that I know of) so I recon you are going to have to fork out for a new set!

If appearances don't concern you, you could rejoin the two parts by drilling small holes either side of the break, and bridging with a bit of stiff plastic and small, short bolts, say M3.

A bit like this guy did to attach a mudflap.

Yea thats what I'm going to do if I can't get a spare. A Mygyver job....


I've some thin sheet metal that I might beat into shape and expoxy and bolt into place to secure the two ends together.

Thanks for that


I sent off an email yesterday and they are sending out a replacement rear mudguard free of charge. Now thats customer service

Fair play to sks.
