Pack Dog
This past weekend I rode the Canal route with buddy Izak when the black turf clay packed so tightly between the front wheel and the mudguard of my GSA that the wheel would'nt turn at all. I almost ploughed a new canal. The only solution was to remove the clay with a stick (after every fall) but this was only good for a few metres before it packed up again.
Upon closer inspection, we found there was a ridge under the mud-guard where it connects to the fork-assembly. This acted as a very effective clay-collecter. Izak's F800GS did not pack up once, although his mud-guard has only a fraction more space between the plastic and the wheel.
I say this is a major design flaw from BMW.
