in Road general
What mudguards are you guys using on your road bikes, preferably ones that can be removed quickly that won't damage the bike frame?

But for the wording of your question, you may be meaning the clip-on type.
On my last CAAD10 I used raceblade pro and they were good - or the larger XL are even better. You can make them more secure by using a couple of cable ties through the holes in addition to the supplied straps.
I tried the "longs" but they were a faff TBH.
Work well for clip ons, although if it's really wet you still get wet feet/muddy bike, but might be the same with other options.
It took a few attempts to get them adjusted correctly but one it's done the bolts haven't come loose and go back on perfectly each time.
Bit of a ball ache to fit, no eyelets on the bike at all, so some bodging required, but deliberately took my time to ensure I set them up so that future fitting and removal would be as simple and quick as possible. Now fitted offer excellent protection from the wet and shouldn't take more than 5 minutes or so to remove or refit in the future
