So who has good mud flaps?
I've seen em at Recycled, but they've got the RC logo on em, not interested.
Is there any such thing as a point83 mudflap? Feel like I've seen 'em on some o' ya'lls bikes.

aaron had some made with the logo. a few people still have them.

but easier than that, get some material, ANY material (rubbery things works best) and put them on the bottom of your fenders. hell, ive seen lots of bikes around town that have milk jugs cut to shape for their stiff plastic.

couple nights ago i needed some with a quickness so i stapled construction paper onto my front fender. worked perfect.

I've made duct-tape only fenders, but continuing your fender down near the ground will be better than nothing.

I think aaron still has some .83 fenders, i'm sure he'd be happy to sell them

I've been rocking the ducttape to the floor on the LHT for over a hear. Couldn't be more pleased.

I made a really nice mud flap out of a road cone. That stuff is really durable and also reflective.

I can get us reflective point83 logo stickers if anyone wants them.

Have access to a CNC vinyl cutter and reflective stock.

VO makes some reasonable leather mud flaps, though they could stand to be more flexible. http://www.velo-orange.com/holemudfl.html

Go to MacPherson's, get some scrap leather on the cheap, drill holes, mount with zip ties. http://www.macphersonleather.com/

I've got some old leather I could sew and punch to make you some flaps. I'll have to see your fenders first though, then we can rivet the little bastards on.
