Rear Mudguard

[Anton]

Another rear mudguard broken this week, only purchased new at the beginning of winter. Is it possible to purchase just a rear guard without the front one (that never breaks) I can't see anything about other than pairs. Am getting fed up with having to spend £25-£30 every time a rear guard busts.

Any advice greatly appreciated.

Thanks

What mud guards are you using, and what bike have you got?
How did it brake?

I am using SKS full guards; it is just a winter bike with Eyelets to fit the guards to. Actually think it happened going over a pot hole. However I would expect them to survive that. Not sure if it is something I am doing when fitting them.

It's unusual I think, I've very rarely had a mudguard break, I can only think of one and I think that got jammed or kicked or something... Fixed it with gaffer tape...

I've had the brackets go sometimes (that hold the guard to the seatstay crossmember),again, fixed with zipties.

I am using SKS full guards...

Have you tried contacting SKS? Tell them exactly which bit is broken and they might replace it FOC. They've been pretty good in the past.
