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.
Now my shoes and shins are covered in mud everyday. Any forummers have ideas for a replacemnt mudguard flap bodge?

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 :-)

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?

Yep - they probably still have them in (£6.99).

Duct tape - make your own flap in seconds.

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 :-)

Thanks for all the advice - particularly Smudge's kind offer of a 'riveting' at PY. 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 :-)

You can buy flaps for your mudguards. Dutch, of course.
