That’s especially true in winter when water tends to stay on the roads for longer. If you’re riding year-round, make sure you have some of the best bike lights to keep you safe too.

I agree that the SKS post sales support is excellent so I may get in touch with them, then again I may simply accept that the guard is simply fixed which is somewhat ironic given the failings of the mk1. Ultimately, products are only as good as an individual finds them. I look forward to the mk3 version

Topeak TetraFender R1 & 2 Set

combines the stability of a fixed mudguard with the flexibility of a clip-on mudguard. The Veloflexx bridge allows For the last three years I've clipped the RBLs on the moment it got remotely misty hereabouts. I've had them on and off my steel bike literally hundreds of times, and recently added mounts to a new carbon disc-braked acquisition. I may simply use these now as a permanent fixture on my 'winter' bike but it would be nice to unclip during nicer spells. I also wanted to have just the one set for two bikes but cannot do that now.

The little flaps are fairly useless and I certainly don't bother with them. Forward of the front wheel/brake the little flap just does exactly that, flap around uselessly. Same goes for the rear wheel in that the little flap just adds weight without offering any protection as the majority of spinning water gets dumped at the brake bridge. The other advantage of these mudguards is that they offer the most protection to the bicycle. They keep all the water and mud away from the rim brake callipers (if your bike has them), which really don't like being dowsed in gritty water, and it's the same for the front derailleur. They also keep water away from a saddle bag and rear light that you might have attached to the saddle/seatpost, so that's another plus for mudguards. Tell us what the product is for and who it's aimed at. What do the manufacturers say about it? How does that compare to your own feelings about it? brakes, there is a crossbar between the seat stays, the distance between the tyre and the crossbar must be 30 mm in If you've never used mudguards, you’ll probably be surprised at how much difference they make. A lot of the water that covers you when you ride in the rain doesn’t come directly from the clouds, it’s thrown up from the road surface by your tyres, especially in lovely British drizzle.Rather than the more conventional V-shaped stays, the Commuter mudguards have parallel twin stays, with Secu-Clip fittings front and rear, designed to release the stay from the fitting if anything gets jammed between the ‘guard and the tyre. Mudguards stop water and dirt from your tyres spraying upwards over you, your bike, and anyone riding behind. the rear mudguard to be mounted at the top of the seat bar without tools, using rubber straps.

Clip-on mudguards usually don’t wrap as much of the wheel as full-length mudguards, nor have the sides or front rubber flap. This means they don’t keep as much rain and spray off your body or bike. However, they do keep most of the water off and can make a huge difference on wet roads. They can easily be removed and stored in the garage during the summer. If your road bike doesn't have mudguard mounts, there are still a lot of mudguards options available to you. The stays are finished with a plastic cap, but can be cut short to avoid toe overlap, then the cap replaced. They come complete with the usual SKS fittings to attach the rear mudguard at the chainstay bridge, and with a sliding steel bridge to fit to the seatstay bridge. A new addition to the Velo family: the Veloflexx 55 mudguard set made of high-performance impact-resistant plastic

This is useful, because the mudguards themselves aren’t especially long, particularly the rear, which is quite short. It’s not one you’d want to follow on a wet day commuting into the city.
