Lightweight, but fiddly to set up
This is my second set of these mudguards. Although they look a little unusual being all soft plastic, including the stays, and rather floppy, they are highly effective when set up correctly. The extended tail of both mudguards is great for keeping your feet and back dry even in heavy rain. They are designed to fit all bikes, even those where the clearance between wheel and fork is very tight. They are very light, which is why I don't mind leaving them on all year round, but they are rather fiddly to set up initially. Fitting is via rubber bands around the forks and the sections of the mudguard are joined together by plastic nuts and bolts. The latter are prone to work loose unless checked regularly ( I advise the use of Loctite or similar on the threads). The mudguards have soft brush pads fitted to the inside to minimise drag if they should touch the wheel. A word of warning: because the mudguards are very light, they are also rather fragile. If a nut and bolt should come undone or a piece of stone or road gravel be kicked up under the mudguard, it will break easily. I have repaired my mudguards with plastic (extra ends supplied with the mudguards) and pop rivets several times over 2 years. Overall, I have been very pleased with these mudguards (2 sets!) but they are probably rather expensive considering that the manufacturing cost is probably less than one third of what they charge!
