No hating on my mods allowed. Yes, it's duct tape.

Four of them to be specific. Now brainstorming ones for the rotors as well.

That sounds amazing, but which 'approach' to the rotor would be covered?

It would need to be above it. I find that most often when they get wet, dirty and noisy it's because of the water falling onto them from the tire. As long as I drive over puddles at certain speed then this doesn't happen but when I slow down enough then the water starts dripping onto the rotors and calipers.

Fair enough! My favourite track at home runs down a river valley (its more of a MTB/enduro thing, too) and crosses the river ~8 times, so there's a lot of rough wear on the bottom bracket and rotors generally getting wet from all angles...

Some sort of shroud would be great!
