If it's good enough for Alberto Contandor ... make a free bike mudguard/fender from an old water bottle

Alberto Contador was spotted in London earlier this week, sporting a mudguard/fender made from an old or repurposed water bottle. If it's good enough for Alberto Contador - it should be good enough for anyone!


It's a neat and nifty idea, thanks to road,cc for posting. http://road.cc/content/news/136561-alberto-contador%E2%80%99s-homemade-water-bottle-mudguard

I was thinking about how to make one (albeit, I am sat in Khon Kaen, Thailand, with 32C heat, in an air-conditioned hotel, watching a Chinese dragon dance ceremony outside) and found that from this idea, to the ass-saver, there are a myriad of ways to get this done, including just sticking a water bottle between your seat stays.

So here are some options!
