Which mudguards

[trekpilot]

Im looking foe some low profile mudguards for my Trek pilot. Most ive seen spoil the look of a bike in my opinion, anyone any suggestions?

I just fitted a set of these to my cyclo cross http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=25794

Depends if you want full or race blades but these are pretty good with my 700x28 tyres

I think the raceblades are what im looking for, but how would they fare on a bike I use for commuting everyday? are they durable? Im thinking about in the bike rack at work, where some people throw their bikes into the racks or lean against other bikes getting in/out.

Raceblades are pretty tough.
Have them on my commute bike.

My Raceblades are still going after 7 months commuting duties,I do try to leave the bike as far from others as i can though.

Thanks for the replys, ive just ordered some raceblades, hopefully it will stay dry until they arrive and are fitted!

You should have gone for full guards like the bluemels. They offer lots more coverage than raceblades and don't scratch your frame.

I'm sure the Pilot can take full guards. Raceblades are ok for bikes that have no fittings for guards or tight frame clearances.

I put some blades on mine first and changed them the first time it rained......

If you are using raceblades, they WILL scratch your frame I only had mine fitted for about 6 months & my bike bears the scars I really should sell them as i'll never use them again.
