    SKS mudguards are superb. Bluemels are their lower-end ones, but they're still ace. I have the silver ones on my rainy bike.

    They can be a swine if you use all of the pieces. There are covers for the ends of the stays which you can't fit before you cut the stays, but you don't generally know how short to cut the stays until they are all fitted together.

    Personally, I just left those bits off, and have suffered the occasional scratch to my legs. :)

    Fiddly to fit but worth the effort.

    I've just bought one of these and waiting for it to arrive, hoping the mudguards will fit through!
