Full guards or SKS - clip ons?!

I do like the look of the RaceBlade Longs, they look more 'permanent' than Cruds, but don't take much longer to get on\off.

Reviews were pretty good too http://road.cc/content/review/50952-sks-raceblade-long-mudguards

I've got SKS Chromoplastics on my Tricross. It's my only bike so gets used for everything; commuting, day rides, most recently the C2C.

A bit of a faff to fit but I love the guards, keep me nice and clean and I don't have to dodge the puddles any more... unless they look a bit deep!

the old raceblades broke on me, twice.

I too like the look of the Raceblade longs, almost a full guard for bikes with little clearance.
Do they only come in a size for 23mm tyres though?

I run 25's on the Secteur and just about get away with the original RB's, bit of movement on a bumpy trail and they will start to rub until adjusted again.

UPDATE - Cheers for all the responses - After another soaking and a glass of wine I ordered the SKS Chromoplastic RoadMudguard SET. having never fitted guards before the only advice i can give you is - take your time! as after 90 mins i only got the rear one fitted . Will do the front tonight but for me, i'll let a bike shop do it.
