Mudguards & V Brakes

[Janeyb]

Showing my absolute ignorance as promised. Following recent purchase of spanking new MTB, am busy converting my old Carrera to a commuter. I have already bought what I feel are the wrong tyres - Raleigh CST MTB Tyres - as recommended by LBS! Now wish I had got slicks which is what my hubbie has just done and they are so fast.

So anyway - I waffle.....I want to get some mudguards but not sure what would be best with V brakes. Want some full if possible and not the ones that fix to your seatpost and wobble all over the place.

Am I going to have to opt for something like this or does anyone else have any ideas?

if you've only just got the mtb tyres take them back to the LBS and suggest their advice was wrong

SKSs are fabulous and extremely easy to put on (less than 10 mins) once you realise you should attach the support spokes by fitting the retaining bolts at the end BEFORE you put them on the bike and adjust afterwards.

Thanks guys......going to investigate over the weekend and plump for the ones you've recommended.

Did have a chat with a colleague at work who has the other one's I posted and she did say that they aren't all that.

Thanks again.
