Decent, Cheap and Easy to fit Mudguards?

[cycle_bug]

Can someone make a recommendation?

These sh*tty £10 Halfords ones I got were a nightmare to fit, but once fitted are now playing up...

Thanks

All mudguards are a pain to fit. It's the nature of the beast.
The reason yours are playing up is that you haven't fitted them properly. More fiddling required.
I go for SKS.

It's the least favourite job in my local bike shop, but as you say buying a decent brand such as SKS does get you off on the right foot.

+1 for SKS....but if you're worried about fitting get them at the LBS, and get them to spend the requisite time swearing at the damn things.

Raleigh Edale (I know, cheap Halfords thing!) and 700c

Fairly easy to fit but bloody rubbish, flimsy, they rub, bits fall off!

Just pay your LBS to fit decent ones, no mudguards are especially expensive imo

It's a question of personal taste of course but i find all mudguards pretty unsightly. I use a pair from the poundshop that cost... let me think. For me they are less ugly than most, reasonably effective and surprisingly robust. There's a video here but no stock at the moment AFAICS.
