    Is there any point, or is it even possible, to install mud guards that look good. I would think that the only reason for using them would be so they could do the JOB they were intended for. :roll: :roll:

    You can get fancy beaten aluminium and carbon fibre ones but they cost arm+leg.

    Gilles Berthoud make some lovely mudguards out of stainless steel and carbon fibre. The carbon fibre ones are quite pricey but stainless ones, given that they are better quality and much nicer looking than the norm, are reasonable, I think. I've bought a pair and like them.

    If you want to go with plastic, SKS make some excellent ones.

    i've got SKS chromoplasics in black, and have got the smallest size that's recommended for my tyre diameter, and they're great. Full mudguards, very robust, very adjustable, and you can hardly see them in black against black tyres.
    that's my two-penneth worth anyway!

    what size are your tyres? if they're 25mm or less, you could consider crud roadracer 2s? probably not though on a commuter...

    Hi everyone, i would like to pick your brains on this one, i have a hybrid bike boardman pro (the one with the carbon fibre forks) they have a hole through the top but as my bike is equiped with disk brake are there any gaurds that will fit my bike? As i am sure you know that the majority of fenders are fixed via the front caliper i could always put a bolt through the hole at the top of the fork. Just wanted to see if any other person has this bike and have managed to get guards that fit and work correctly?

    Cheers guys

    hows about some sks race blades? clip on to the fork blade... although they're not "full" mudguards, they may do the job...

    You get the front (Zefals) as well at Decathlon which is a cable tie job to the frame for not much more ...
