Anyone used mudhugger / fathugger guards? I commute on my 650b+ as well as a bit off offroad and want something to keep the mud off front + rear better than my current clip on SKS ting.

They're 3 inches, clearance is plenty, a little stodgy sometimes with epping mud in the winter but epping mud is especially sticky.

Gotta do work stuff this weekend so just going to do a short jaunt to epping. Would love to join in future and ride something a bit more bumpy.

Great ride, thanks Pete, even if you did make fun of me puffing ;)

I'm really unfit you all have to be nice.

Yeah I bought it complete. I'd say due to the weird hubs used building it up yourself may not be worth the hassle, there are a few options listed on the page on charlie the bikemonger but idk. The one on sale on there is frame only so you could get a fork with a more normal dropout standard, though from what I can see 110*9 is easier to find than 141*9.
Believe you could get some love mud wheels for it though, as I think their frontier uses the same standard. might be worth pinging alpkit to ask.
EDIT: you're also welcome to have a little ride around on mine if you want to try out the size.

@russmeyer wrote a long answer then saw your post saying you'll give it a miss. Great bike for what I use it for now - commuting and camping duties on sort of bumpy but not jumpy stuff.
Also doesn't have a replaceable mech hanger which imo on a bike in 2018 is an actual sin, especially for one that's supposed to go offroad. Just in case sizing is still of interest I'm 186cm tall with long legs + short torso and have an XL pine mountain.
long time passed, but yeah this is mine! Best commuter ever.
