The SKS Chromoplastics are the de facto mudguard choice for bikes with eyelets; i have them on my Equilibrium. The only thing you need to be aware of is that the rear mudguard is on the short side and you'll probably want to fashion a mudflap for it if you ride in groups.

Other than that all you have to worry about is whether to go for silver or black.

I went for :
SKS Chromoplastic Road Mudguard Set
Silver 700x20-28 - Narrow

Just to add my 0.02c. The SKS P35 chromoplastics work fine.




The SKS "commuter"mudguards (which dont have the internal foil strips) will also fit but are a complete waste of time - the rear is cut too high (far higher even than the chromoplastics) and the rear mudguard stays (a double stay but at a single location) do not provide sufficient support along the length of the guard.

If you plan to use the threaded boss under the rear brake bridge (rather than the big silver clip that hangs from the brake pivot bolt) as the mid-point mount, the chromoplastics are more tolerant of having holes drilled in them

They're the ones - also available in silver,

AFAIK, the SKS "Blumels" guards in the post above are solid plastic, the chromoplastics have a metal layer encased in plastic.

Your link shows them with a mudflap and a reflector, mine came without either
