They have great coverage, they are removable and sturdy, they also have a cool fitment under the brakes that works on bikes with very little clearance

They won't work with marathon plus tires though as they hit the mount on the front fork below the caliper if you have less than 20mm clearance

After my mudguard mishap of the other day, I bought a set, although I've just used the front & kept the rear as a spare.

Great product, easy to fit, I like the wide mudflap. I'm not so sure about the rear not extending all the way to the BB, which is why I have kept my original full length rear mudguard, as I know it stop a load of crud getting onto the front mech.

I may get a set for my Planet X, as it doesn't have front mudguard eyes on the forks, as these mudguards don't use them.

Well, an over due update! I did tweak them the next day and I've been happy cycling to work with no crud streak up my ass! All was going well.... Until... When I was storing the bike away I'm the back yard at work when I caught it on something and the rear guard snapped! Gutted cos they were actually doing the trick! Ain't spending the same money again in only a matter of months tho!

What did you break ?

You can buy spare pieces here if its the Crud guards you are refering to..

Well the tail came off but it's actually the main centre blade part that's snapped.
Thanks for that link. I've just ordered a new main centre blade. You've saved me a fair bit of money. Only £6.50 for my new part! with free postage.
So hopefully my commute will be back to having a dry back side soon!

Further update and praise for crud products. Other part the other night and it's now received and fitted! Excellent service

What is it with girls and push bike gears? Why don't they understand them? Why? WHY? And how many time do I have to say "you have to pedal when you change gear" huh? How many?

...and relax.
