My wife and kids have been away for 3 nights as its half term. Needless to say rather than parking the bike in the garage its been in the front room - saving about 1minute on having to get it out the garage in the morning.
I had a rattle last night, traced it to the mudguard attachment banging onto the rack. I bent the attachment away from the rack - noise gone. Today road in and my mudguard snapped.
Now thinking of ways to fix temporarily.
Ideas so far
--araldite + bodgitt tape.
--superglue + bodgitt tape.
-- another suggestion was to overlap the pieces of mugdguard, put a piece of inner tube between them and bond the sandwich with superglue/araldite somehow.
In the long run I don't know whether to get crud or Giant specific again. The crud look shorter than the Giant specific mudguards + I like silver rather than black.

Overlapping and bonding them in some way would probably be the strongest IMO
While the wife's away... Just make sure you don't leave any evidence behind when she gets back
