Mud guards

[Northernlegs]

Hi guys, looking for some mudguards for my hybrid, don't want to pay the world, just a good value mud guard! Any suggestions?

 

[DCLane]

Full length or short; i.e. Raceblade XL or Crud?

 

[Northernlegs]

No idea that's why asking?!

What's the bike...hybrid could be one of a 1000 options. Does it have fixing points?

If so an SKS chromoplastic or Commuter. Buy from Halfords, they fit for £5-8. Fitting mudguards requires patience and black magic

+1 for the sks chromoplastic.
Fit them yourself, no black magic required.
As an added bonus you will develop the ability to swear without repetition, hesitation or deviation for considerably longer than 1 minute...

No way I'm fitting mudguards for the sake of a fiver

And I see mudguard fitting points.

I would follow Vickster's advice. Fitting mudguards is a bit like snooker, looks easy and logical but is a PIA to stop the tyres rubbing. Well worth £5-£8 charged by Halfords.

These if still on the 38mm tyres

Halfords only have the silver at the mo (but will price match Tredz etc)

Triangular stays are a much more rigid design than just straight stays:

They were £12 at decathlon last year.

If you don't mind what they look like then get some from Poundland.

Tortecs.

And whilst sitting guards doesn't need magic it often needs really good cutters.

And when the guards rub (and even the best will once one of the bendy bits of metal they come with gets bent) if you know the magic yourself you can sort it out quickly and easily.
