The front mudguard I bought from e-bay arrived this morning. It's as narrow as the one on my night train which has a twenty-one inch skinny tyre. It does cover the wider, nineteen inch dyna wheel which I hope to fit but I'm sure that the wider fat bob would have looked just that bit chunkier. Fat bob guards don't come up that often on e-bay but I'll keep my eyes open. ' Doubt I'll get as good a bargain as I did on this one though. (And it's even the right colour.)
Well, that's the good news. The bad is, I think I'm going to have to fit the fork legs back together again in order to unscrew the seat pipe screws from the bottom of the fork legs. They are able to rotate in the leg so there has to be some pressure from the assembly to allow them to be loosened. The manual (which I downloaded an electronic version of for a couple of quid) says to loosen the screws without unfastening them before relieving the tension by removing the fork leg caps.
Oh well, you live and learn!
