Which mudguards

bontie

I am getting a road disc bike, with space for proper mudguards.

What guards can you recommend. I do not like the sks bluemels style guards with the adjustable length stays. I orefer a cleaner looks.
Currently considering pdw, but they are ehavy and expensive.

Thanks in advance

pdw are not heavy. I saw some in the flesh at Condor yesterday, and they look great. Lightweight, stiff, decent mounts.
OK expensive, but cheap mudguards are a pain in the ass

Try vavert mudguards.Good strong and more discrete looking.Come in different widths.My black set is now on their bike and still no damage.

Totally agree with this ↑↑ I actually bought some PDWs to fit to my Allez but they were just too big (the bikes fault not the mudguards!). It was a real shame as they were by far the best quality mudguards that I have ever seen and worth every penny if they work for you and your bike.

Got some SKS longboards on mine. Had to bend some of the stays at the front due to the disc rotor/unit but they work really well. Cycled home from work the other night and it was chucking down. No spray whatsover. Strange arriving home nice and clean

+1 for longboards, I have been using Chromoplastics for a few years but wanted longer guards and I think the longboards look better too as they are a true blank rather than the greyish black of the chromos.

I'd considered the PDW's, I like the look of them but the colour put me off, a personal thing obviously.

See, the long oards have the protruding adjustable support arms/ stays or whatever they are called that I don't like.
Guess Ill have to bite the bullet and get the pdw's - they look solid and would probably last a long time anyway.

Thansk for all the replies.

Only if you can't be bothered to cut them to the correct length?

Got the SKS Longboards on my commuter, only just fitted a couple of days ago. You have to trim down the stays to get the fit right, a bit of patience and its not too bad a job, for £21 from CRC, I'm happy with them

I use Crud but can only run 23mm tyres as there isn't enough clearance on my rear wheel. Very good coverage though so i can live with the 23's
