Mudguards for Boardman Hybrid Pro?

omerta

Can anyone recommend mudguards for a Hybrid Pro please? I'm looking ar Crud Roadracer 2 but they seem a bit of a faff to fit.

Thanks

They're no more of a faff than other's I've fitted, and less maintenance once fitted. I'd go for the crud's.

Also have raceblades on another bike, and chromoplastics on another.

I've got Cruds too, not any real hassle to fit, can be removed/refitted in a minute or two

Doesn't the Hybrid Pro have mudguard mounting points? I'm looking for mudgurads for my CX Team and, having messed about with other "strap-ons" on my road bike, I'm looking for something that uses the mounting points. Finding something, though, is another matter...

Excuse me... HYBRID!! Now you know you really want a proper road bike...... You know it's only a matter of time before you realise that a hybrid is a mistake.

SKS Chromoplastics.

Until the Highland ice arrives, I use my road bike. But after that time, a road bike is very much a mistake (not that I'd go for a hybrid... )

or more realistically these which I have on one of my bikes.

I use Cycraguards on my Boardman Hybrid - the rear one attaches onto the seatpost, front one 'straps on' to the down tube. Dead easy to fit and remove and can be transferred to the MTB when needed. Also they don't look nerdy like classical roadie mudguards

Yep they're really good. Especially if you like your brakes still getting covered in grime, and your feet, and your frame. I guess you could get some nerdy (proper) mud guards to stop all of that happening, but each to their own.

Yup - I'm looking to avoid that situation that seems to occur only at my prefered cruising speed: water flying up off the front wheel and straight into my face! Only a relatively full mudguard stops that.

Must be something wrong with yours then. Mine work on my commuter and on my MTB where there's much more muck thrown up. PS: disc brakes (as on the OP's bike) are designed to take a bit of muck even if it was a problem

I'll stick with them, you carry on looking nerdy.

I got crudcatchers from Halfords and got them to fit them to my Boardman Hybrid Team. The guy did a clever trick with a reflector to hold the front one in place, back one was a straight fit no probs.
