Plastic ferrules for mudguard stays

[DCBassman]

Are these what I need? Pretty sure the guards are SKS Blumels...
These?

Old pen lid melted on do the same job or even heat shrink? Save you £6.99.

or round the sharp ends off with a file

Or cut them so they don't stand proud of the guards.

Yes. Dremel them off and save all that weight.

top suggestion.
I recently acquired a lidl gas powered heatgun and heatshrink bits so am always on the look-out for innocent uses of it.
and am I the only one dazzled by SKS's variants in fixing systems? - my garage has a stack of their old mudguards ready to be plundered for bits.

Dremel? What witchery is this???

don't cut them too short because if you change brand of tyres you may need a bit of expansion room to get clearance

That, at least, is no issue, as the bike originally had 27x1.25 wheels. There's a *lot* of clearance.

Even if you put caps on, round the metal for safety.

If you don't mind green - 10 for £2 on eBay: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1-10-1-8...al-Pipe-Tube-Caps-Hat-x-10-Green/362001840212

Search for 'aerial cap' rather than 'mudguard cap'

I found a pack on eBay. Just couple of quid, cable cutters will cut the stays down.

Be careful of heat around a plastic mudguard

Not an issue, no heat gun!

Another top suggestion, thanks.
Ebay is full of cheap chinese bits that some company has appropriated and massively marked up, sometimes aided and abetted by a bit of logo-ing/branding. Can't help but wonder how you discovered them. Some sort of picture search?
