Time to replace the old rusty mudguard. Found this place online, anyone used them before? www.arrowcraftuk.com/index.php/6
A T5 one will fit my PX disc right? If so I guess I'll just need to drill the holes for the pipe etc?
Cheers for the help as always. Kriss.

Yea it will fit but the bracket on the side will either need to be cut of off or not used - or moved. If you want to make it look even nicer an idea would be to run a new braided hose inside the fork rather than on the outside like the original - that way you can do away with cutting the mudguard, you may need to drill a hole in the fork leg above where the speedo cable goes into the fork leg, depends which fork your using - Also obviously with the T5 mudguard you see a lot more of the shocker - you might not like the look of the standard item with the big plastic cover.

Perfect answer! Thanks mate. Didn't know I could run it up the fork, that'll look nice. I'm in half a mind to either just get the mudguard on or do it properly like you said, new shocker etc. Probably worth doing while the whole thing is apart really... Guess the bank balance will decide that one for me.

If you put the hose inside the fork leg, the hose you use will have to have a detachable banjo fitting or it won't get through the hole you make, then once hose is through you refit it, also check length of hose for allowing suspension movement.😉
All the best

"check length of hose for allowing suspension movement." That right there sounds like an excellent piece of advice! Don't wanna go over a pot hole and lose my front brake!

Ordered a T5 one from Arrow Craft yesterday. £38 delivered ready for drilling and paint. Can't complain at that really. Very friendly service too, I can recommend.
