Drastic times call for drastic measures and I bet I’m not the only one sick of wet feet or even worse - having to opt for the car each day. It was around about week two that the cabin fever had set in and the guards went on. Sure a Surly Karate Monkey isn’t the most likely candidate for the full length guard treatment but it’s my main commuter/ all rounder fun time rig and considering it’s got every mount known to humankind it was a bit of a no brainer. So if like all of us here, you’ve decided it’s time to turn to the guard side, swing past with your bike so we can size it up and source the best option to keep those toes toasty and the shin bones dry.
