Cheap, effective and required no skill whatsoever!

The old bit of lino was attached by pushing a hot nail through the chromoplastic to make a small hole and then bolting it on. So attaching the new bodge should be fine using the existing hole :-) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4522#post-48001 Fri, 25 Nov 2011 13:16:30 +0000 Smudge 48001@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I could bring a pop rivet gun (and rivets) to PY with a little warning. Just tell me roughly what size you want I'll tell you what size to drill the holes and we can attach it on the spot :-) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4522#post-47988 Fri, 25 Nov 2011 12:17:03 +0000 spitters 47988@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Duct tape - make your own flap in seconds. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4522#post-47981 Fri, 25 Nov 2011 12:02:38 +0000 amir 47981@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Yep - they probably still have them in (£6.99). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4522#post-47978 Fri, 25 Nov 2011 11:47:51 +0000 Nelly 47978@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>somebody (amir I think) mentioned the other day that he got a cheapo staple / rivet gun or something from lidl which allowed him to secure his home made mudflap on? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4522#post-47976 Fri, 25 Nov 2011 11:26:27 +0000 Smudge 47976@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I cut a mudguard extension from a plastic milk carton, wrapped it in black duct tape and it stayed put for about a year and a half :-) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4522#post-47972 Fri, 25 Nov 2011 11:17:36 +0000 recombodna 47972@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.phred.org/~alex/bikes/fendermudflap.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.phred.org/~alex/bikes/fendermudflap.html</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.bicycletouring101.com/BikeDIYMudFlaps.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.bicycletouring101.com/BikeDIYMudFlaps.htm</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/gzahnd/sets/72157600115186491/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/gzahnd/sets/72157600115186491/</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4522#post-47969 Fri, 25 Nov 2011 11:09:51 +0000 riffian 47969@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Last week my mudguard flap decided to depart company with my front mudguard. It was a square of linoleum a colleague gave me at work. Very effective at keeping all the crude of me and the bike.<br /> Now my shoes and shins are covered in mud everyday. Any forummers have ideas for a replacemnt mudguard flap bodge? </p>
